Chapter 5 Installing the Level 3R Storage System
2. For systems that use RAID 1 RANKs, you must now create the separate RAID 1
storage for metadata files and journal files. To bind unbound disks for metadata and
journal storage, do the following:
a. Right-click the Unbound node for the controller, then select Bind in the context
menu. (If the RAID chassis has two controllers, both controllers are represented
by the single “Controller” node)
The Bind dialog box opens showing all unbound disks for the controller listed
in the Available Disk list.
b. Leave Full Bind unchecked. Refer to “About full/background bind” on page 748 .
c. In the Bind Type drop down box, select RAID 1 .
d. In the Available Disks box, select two contiguous disks at the top of the list.
These should be the first two disks in the primary RAID chassis. (TIP: Use
‘shift-click’ or ‘control-click’ to select disks.) This creates a RAID 1 RANK for
metadata storage.
e. Click the add (arrow) button to add disks to the Selected Disks list.
NOTE: As an aid in identifying a disk module’s physical location, select it in the
Selected Disks list, then click
Identify Disks. This causes the disk drive light to flash.
f. Click OK to close the Bind dialog box and begin the binding process. The
Progress Report dialog box opens, showing the status of the binding process.
g. Close the Progress Report and repeat the previous steps, selecting two more
contiguous disks to create another RAID 1 RANK for journal storage. These
should be the next two disks in the primary RAID chassis.
h. Make the fifth disk in the primary RAID chassis a Hot Spare. In the Bind Type
drop down box, select Hot Spare .
