Dynamicraid Setup - Overland Storage SnapServer Administrator's Manual

SnapServer/GuardianOS 7.5 Administrator's Guide

DynamicRAID Setup

The Configure Storage - Head Unit page lets you configure your head unit storage by choosing
the parity mode and snapshot pool size under DynamicRAID.
You choose the parity mode to set the data pool size. Options presented are based on the
number and available space of disk drives detected in the previous step. See
Management
In addition, snapshot space can be reserved using the following guidelines:
• For typical usage, at least 20% snapshot space should be reserved from each storage
pool.
• Once snapshot space is set up under DynamicRAID, it can be decreased at any time.
However, to increase the size of the snapshot space, either the storage pool must be
deleted and re-created, or you must add more storage capacity to your storage pool. See
Snapshots
