[Cautions for using the RDR function]
IMPORTANT:
RDR can be set only to the disks inserted into the built-in slots of NEC Express5800/ft series.
1.
Be sure to specify RDR to all disks inserted to the built-in slots and make duplex settings.
2.
RDR can be set only to basic disks.
3.
If a span volume or stripe volume is needed, make settings of RDR to a basic disk and then
change the disk to a dynamic disk from [Disk Management].
The disks to set RDR must have the same capacity and must be new or physically formatted.
4.
(For physical format, refer to "SAS BIOS" in Chapter 4 and perform Format Disk using
Disk Utilities.)
Before performing physical formatting, change [Option ROM Scan Monitoring] as [Disabled]
5.
on [Server] – [Monitoring Configuration] on the BIOS setup utility. Refer to the separate
volume of the User's Guide User's Guide "SYSTEM BIOS – SETUP –" in "Chapter 4
System Configuration" for configuration.
If the system is shut down (or restarted) while the mirror is broken, or a long time (30 minutes
6.
or longer) has passed after the mirror is broken, the mirror resynchronization target will be the
entire area of the partition existing on the disk.
For example, if the mirroring has been broken due to a PCI module failure, when you shut
down the system and replace the PCI module in such a state, the entire area of the partition
existing on the disk needs to be resynchronized.
Create a data disk partition after configuring the RDR. If you create a data disk partition
7.
before configuring the RDR, the partition's drive letters may be deleted when the RDR is
configured.
