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.

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.
