The disk drives in slot 2 and slot 3 are configured as the RAID1, VOLUME1 device.
Volume 1 contains the log files. As with the RAID1, VOLUME0 device, you can
hot-swap one disk drive at a time if a drive becomes problematic. However, you
cannot operate the appliance if both drives are removed.
The appliance uses the disk drive that is located in slot 4 as a hot-spare disk. If a
disk drive in either of the RAID volume experiences a hardware error, the appliance
automatically initiates a RAID rebuild operation. During the rebuild operation, the
appliance dynamically accesses the hot-spare disk from slot 4 and uses it to rebuild
the RAID volume.
