Mirroring Schemes For Internal Disks - NEC Express5800/320Ma Software Installation And Configuration Manual

•
While the disks are resynchronizing, LEDs blink to indicate read and write
operations, and ftSMC displays a value of Syncing next to OpState: State
in the details pane for the disk.
To view the progress of the synchronization in ftSMC, expand Logical Disk
Information under ftServer I/O Enclosures and select the virtual disk (for
example, RDR Virtual Disk 1). In the details pane, the progress is noted as a
percentage in the value next to Status. For example:
Status: Resync: 20 percent
•
When the disks are synchronized, the LEDs on both disks are lit steady green
and ftSMC displays a value of Duplex next to OpState: State in the details
pane for the disk and for the virtual disk. The value next to Status for the
virtual disk is None.
When you add the first system disk to an RDR virtual disk, a System Shutdown
message appears, stating that the system will reboot in two minutes. Let the
system restart.
9. For each additional virtual disk to be created, repeat steps
following:
•
The disk under Slot 2 of I/O Enclosure - 10 with the disk under Slot 2 of
I/O Enclosure - 11 to create Virtual Disk 2
•
The disk under Slot 3 of I/O Enclosure 10 with the disk under Slot 3 of I/O
Enclosure 11 to create Virtual Disk 3

Mirroring Schemes for Internal Disks

On the front of an Express5800/320Ma system, disk slots are identified by the numbers
1, 2, and 3, and in ftServer Management Console (ftSMC), these slots are represented
by Slot - 1, Slot - 2, and Slot - 3 nodes. Software assigns the numbers 0, 1, and 2 to
the disks in these slots. So, for example, the disk in slot 1 is displayed as Disk - 0 under
a Slot - 1 node. The RDR virtual disk numbering follows the slot numbering (not the disk
numbering) in ftSMC. So, Disk - 0, which is in slot 1, is assigned to RDR Virtual Disk - 1.
