Mirroring Configuration

RAID1+0(4D+4M) is used in the following examples to explain how drives are installed to configure a mirroring RAID level.

The drive number is determined by the IDs (DE-ID and CE-ID) of the enclosure and the slot number in which the drive is installed. Starting from the smallest drive number in the configuration, half of the drives are allocated into one group and the remaining drives are allocated into the other group. Each drive in the different groups are paired for mirroring.

Example 1: All drives are installed in a single enclosure

Example 2: Paired drives are installed in two different enclosures

Example 3: Paired drives are installed in three different enclosures
