ReadyNAS for Home RAIDiator 4.2
Implement Dual Redundancy
If your 6-bay ReadyNAS system is uses X-RAID2 mode, you can configure it to use added
disks to expand storage space or to increase data protection by implementing dual
redundancy. Dual redundancy protects you against data loss if two disks fail. The tradeoff is
that the disk that is used for dual redundancy protection cannot be used for storage space.
To implement dual redundancy:
1. Select Volume > Volume Settings from the FrontView main menu.
The Volume Settings screen displays
.
2. Select the Will be used to add dual redundancy radio button.
3. Click the Apply button.
The next disk you add will be used to implement dual redundancy.
Remove a Disk from a Volume
If you remove a disk from a volume, the volume is still available but in a nonredundant state.
If a disk failure occurs after you remove a disk from a volume, this volume becomes
unusable. This is useful to test performance in a degraded volume. This procedure is only
appropriate for controlled test environments.
WARNING!
Do not remove a disk from a volume in a live production
environment. Depending on how your ReadyNAS system is
configured, you risk losing data when removing a disk from a
volume.
This procedure applies only to ReadyNAS systems that are configured in Flex-RAID mode.
