Hard Disk Configurations that can be Built on the NEC Express5800/ft
series
In the NEC Express5800/ft series, you need to create mirrors on all volumes and make the volumes
dynamic mirror volumes.
IMPORTANT:
Dynamic simple volumes can construct dynamic mirror volumes by adding mirror.
However, dynamic mirror volumes cannot be constructed from dynamic span volumes,
dynamic stripe volumes, or dynamic RAID5 volumes.
Volumes that are already used for constructing dynamic mirror volumes cannot be used to
add mirror.
When creating mirror volume, slot 0 and 3, slot 1 and 4, and slot 2 and 5 should be the mirrored
pairs.
