REATING A IRROR
Mirror pools are pools that use equal amounts of space on two or more disks. Mirror pools allow you to create multiple copies of
important data. Each disk drive used in a mirror pool contains a copy of the same data files. The primary disk or "Base" contains
the original file. Whenever a file in the Base is saved, the file is updated in the mirror.
1 In the Disk Management menu, click Create New Pool.
2 In New Pool Name, enter a descriptive name for mirror
pool.
3 Selected Mirroring.
Auto Configuration automatically designates the drive with
the least amount of available space as the Base and the drive
with the greater amount of available space as the Mirror.
To configure the Mirror pool automatically, continue to
Step 4. To configure the pool manually, go to
