Disks Operations Using Disk Management

Disk Management

NEC Express5800/ft series (which does not support the RDR function) ensures reliability by

executing software mirroring to hard disk volumes using Windows. Use Windows’ “Disk

Management” to manipulate volumes.

Refer to the online help for the operating procedures of “Disk Management”.

Steps to refer to the help of operating procedures:

1. Click [Start] - [Help and Support].

2. Select [Disks and Data] from the topics on the help.

3. Select [Managing Disks and Volumes] - [Disk Management] - [How To…], then check the

operating procedures.

Hard Disk Configurations that can be built on the NEC Express5800/ft

series

In the NEC Express5800/ft series, all volumes need creation of mirror disks. You can create mirror

disks only on the dynamic simple volume as shown in the table below.

Volume type Can/cannot be built

Dynamic simple volume

√

Dynamic span volume –

Dynamic mirror volume –

Dynamic stripe volume –

Dynamic RAID5 volume –

Create mirror disks by selecting disks that are in the same slot of the SCSI enclosure. For example,

if the hard disks are positioned as shown in the table below, define hard disks 0 and 3, hard disks 1

and 4, and hard disks 2 and 5 as mirrored pairs.
