5.3. Five Disks: System Volume
Mirror
In this example,
Disk 0
, volume letter
C
contains the Windows Stor-
age Server operating system. Note that
System
is listed in its contents
(
Fig. 20
). The operating system, as shipped, takes up 35 GB on
Disk 0.
5.3.1. Boot Order and Creating the Mirror
After a Recovery
All Windows Storage Server system files are duplicated on each disk
in the mirror. In most instances, when there are two versions of a
Windows operating system, the user is prompted to select one as the
device boots. Since a monitor and keyboard are required to choose
the boot disk, your 5big Storage Server has turned off this option to
save the user time when booting the device.
EXAMPLE:
By default, the 5big Storage Server boots from the first
disk with an operating system. In this case, that is Disk 0 (
Fig. 20
). If
Disk 0 should experience a problem or the operating system is dam-
aged, the 5big Storage Server will boot from Disk 1 without forcing
any action from the user. However, this option will be lost if the user
has performed a recovery, reinstalling Windows Storage Server.
