Data Disk
A disk that contains persistent data for your critical applications. Any disk marked as Data will
be available only to the Production Side while the system is split. You cannot upgrade
software on a data disk.
IMPORTANT:
All external storage devices are automatically considered data disks.
(See the prerequisites for the Active Upgrade process for additional restrictions.)
Volumes on the Disk Selection page are color-coded as described in the below table.

To select system and data disks
•
For any disk you want to mark as a system disk, click the System radio button.
(This automatically marks any volume that the disk contains as a system volume.)
•
For any disk you want to mark as a data disk, click the Data radio button.
IMPORTANT:
Volumes can span multiple physical disks, and physical disks can contain multiple volumes. If
a volume spans two or more disks, and you mark one of the disks that contains that volume as a
system disk, any disk that contains a part of that volume automatically becomes a system disk.
When you are finished selecting disks, you can click Next to proceed with the next configuration
step.
