4. Right-click the disk that you will join to the mirror and click Add Physical Disk To RDR Virtual
Disk.
Figure 7 shows Step 4 of adding a physical disk.
5. In the Device Configuration Change message box, click Yes.
6. Repeat Steps 4–6 on the corresponding disk in the other I/O enclosure. For example,
expand ftServer I/O Enclosures, I/O Enclosure - 11, Storage Enclosure - 40, and
Slot - 1, and then click Disk - 1.
7. Allow time for the two disks to synchronize.
To synchronize the system disk, use the same process but locate the CPU-I/O enclosure bay that indicates
Unconfigured System Disk in Step 3.
While the disks are re-synchronizing, LEDs blink to indicate read and write operations, and in the details pane
for the disk, ftSMC displays a value of Syncing next to OpState: State.
To view the progress of the synchronization in ftSMC, under ftServer I/O Enclosures expand Logical Disk
Information and select the virtual disk.
Figure 8 shows a re-synchronization in process.
After synchronization, the LEDs on both disks show a steady green light and, in the details pane for the disk
and for the virtual disk, ftSMC displays a value of Duplex next to OpState: State. The value next to Status for
the virtual disk is None.
