4. For systems that use RAID 1 RANKs, you must now create the separate RAID 1 storage for file
system metadata files and journal files. To bind unbound disks for metadata and journal storage,
do the following:
a) Right-click the Unbound node for the controller, then select Bind in the context menu. (If the
RAID chassis has two controllers, both controllers are represented by the single “Controller”
node)
The Bind dialog box opens showing all unbound disks for the controller listed in the Available
Disk list.
b) Leave Full Bind unchecked.
c) In the Bind Type drop down box, select RAID 1.
d) In the Available Disks box, select two contiguous disks at the top of the list. These should be
the first two disks in the primary RAID chassis. (TIP: Use ‘shift-click’ or ‘control-click’ to
select disks.) This creates a RAID 1 RANK for file system metadata storage.
e) Click the add (arrow) button to add disks to the Selected Disks list.
NOTE: As an aid in identifying a disk module’s physical location, select it in the Selected
Disks list, then click Identify Disks. This causes the disk drive light to flash.
f) Click OK to close the Bind dialog box and begin the binding process. The Progress Report
dialog box opens, showing the status of the binding process.
g) Close the Progress Report and repeat the previous steps, selecting two more contiguous disks
to create another RAID 1 RANK for journal storage. These should be the next two disks in
the primary RAID chassis.
h) Make the fifth disk in the primary RAID chassis a Hot Spare. In the Bind Type drop down
box, select Hot Spare.
i) In the Available Disks box, select the fifth disk in the primary RAID chassis.
j) Click the add (arrow) button to add the disk to the Selected Disks list.
k) Click OK to close the dialog box and begin the binding process.
