Configuring Duplexed Disks
Express5800/ft series secures data by setting dual disk configuration using RDR (Rapid Disk Resync) function.
Be sure to make dual disk settings according to the procedure described below.
Important
•
Set dual disk configuration by the RDR (Rapid Disk Resync) function. If you want
to use other disk management tool (e.g. VERITAS Storage Foundation), install it

Chapter 1 (4. Setup for Solving Problems)
.
•
CPU/IO module has a processor function part and IO function part, and monitors
