VPC-3100-G Series Reference Manual

Outline

This section describes hardware mirroring (RAID1) setup. We only support mirroring. We do not
support operation for other RAIDs (RAID0, RAID5, and RAID10). Be aware that functions not
supported are outside the scope of the warranty.

Hardware RAIDs are hot-swappable.
