Making Disks Duplex By Rdr - NEC Express5800/R320g-M4 Maintenance Manual

Chapter 2 Configuring and Upgrading the System
Tips for using the RDR function as follows:

RDR can be set only to the disks inserted into the built-in slots of Express5800/ft series.

RDR can be set only to the basic disk. If spanning or stripe volume is needed, first set RDR to basic disk,
and select Disk Management to convert the disk to dynamic disk.

If the system is shutdown (or restarted) while the mirror is broken, or a long time (60 minutes or longer) has
passed after the mirror is broken, the resynchronization target will be the entire area of the partition
existing on the disk.
However, when the dynamic disk is used, the resynchronization target will be not the entire area of the
partition existing on the disk, but the entire area of the disk.

Making disks duplex by RDR

Follow the procedure below to configure dual data disk for the slots 1 to 7.
1. Insert a disk for the dual configuration into the Slot 1 of PCI module 10.
If a disk is already mounted, this procedure is not necessary.
When a disk is inserted, a popup window asking for rebooting the system may be displayed, but there is no
need to reboot it. Select Restart Later and close the popup window.

Note The following shows how to configure dual disk for the slot 1. If you want to configure the
dual disk for slot 2 to slot 7, read "slot 1" as the slots you want to make dual configuration
and perform the procedure.
Important For a disk to be inserted, use a new or physically formatted disk. If such a disk is not
used, disks are not duplexed successfully.
As for physical format, see Chapter 3 (3.3 Physical Formatting of the Hard Disk
Drive).
