Changing the RAID Configuration
The default RAID configuration can be easily changed by removing the existing
RAID and building one or more new RAID sets. A disk drive must be a part of a
RAID in order to create a volume and share. You can create single-drive RAID 0's to
replicate a JBOD configuration.
In the following procedure, we will create two 2-drive mirrors on a SnapServer 520.
Capacity is reduced in the head to provide redundancy and high data availability.
Capacity is regained by adding expansion arrays in the following procedure. This
configuration can sustain up to two drive failures, making it more fault tolerant
than a RAID 5. This procedure will not retain any data that is already present on the
server.

4 Create a two-disk RAID 1 with Drives 1 and 2 for the antivirus and backup
software to reside on.
5 Create a volume and share for the RAID 1. Optionally create user shares within
the primary, administrative share for user data. If user data will be stored on this
volume, configuring snapshots, antivirus, and a Disaster Recovery Image is
strongly recommended.
6
Create a second RAID 1 with Drives 3 and 4. Configure the volume without
snapshots for use as an iSCSI target, or to store data, optionally configuring
snapshots and a Disaster Recovery Image.
