Overview: The standard configuration for a NAS 6000 base unit includes two user volumes, each supporting up to 960GB of raw storage capacity for a total of 1.9TB. In a RAID 5 configuration, the usable capacity is 723 GB on the first volume and 768 GB on the second. This document describes the optimal way to reconfigure this user space into a single 1.5 TB user volume (base unit only), or up to a 4.43 TB user volume on a fully configured MaxAttach NAS 6000 (base unit plus two expansion units).
The NAS 6000 base unit contains twelve 160GB hard disks. This…
Overview:
This Knowledge Base article describes a specific RAID reconfiguration; it describes how to re-configure the arrays using a Mylex Spanning feature to create a single 1.45 TB user volume spanned across Arrays 0 and 1 without a performance reduction. This procedure is data destructive for both user volumes. This procedure does not require the use of any special service tools. This procedure does not require system downtime, but the performance of the system will be affected significantly for about 10 minutes. System performance will also be slightly reduced for about 30 hours during the “background” creation of the redundant data…
The following are the steps necessary to configure a RAID 1 (mirrored) volume on your OneTouch III Turbo 1TB drive:
Currently only the OneTouch III Turbo 1TB (Terabyte) drives provide RAID 1 (Mirrored) support. Configuring a RAID volume is a data destructive process. It is strongly recommended that you backup any/all data on your OneTouch III Turbo drive before proceeding.
