Configuring RAID
f. Close the Progress Report and repeat these steps for other unbound disks. If
specified by your system design, you can bind some disks as Hot Spares, as
explained in
“Binding Hot Spare drives” on page 369 . When you are done, if
you did not bind any extra Hot Spares, you should have the following results:
For Level three redundant storage, on the primary RAID chassis you should
have two RAID 1 LUNs of two disks each, one Hot Spare Disk, and two RAID
5 LUNs of five disks each. For each optional Expansion chassis, you would have
an additional three RAID 5 LUNs of five disks each. If using RAID 6, LUNs are
six disks each.
NOTE: Controllers can take several hours to bind a LUN. Make sure you initiate
multiple simultaneous binding processes to reduce the overall time.
g. Upon 100% completion, click Close in Progress Report window.
NOTE: Do not proceed until all LUNs are finished binding.
4. Restart the K2 Media Server.
NOTE: Make sure start up processes on the K2 Media Server are complete before
proceeding. This could take ten minutes.
5. Continue with the next procedure “Creating a new file system” .
