Advanced NetDisk Functions
Aggregation / Binding
Aggregation is one of the two advanced features NetDisk provides. Aggregation allows users to enable
multiple NetDisk units to be recognized as a single large disk drive. This feature is extremely useful where a
larger storage device is needed. Please follow the steps below to aggregate NetDisk.
Requirements for Aggregation / Binding:
• Only two NetDisk can be bound at a time.
• Each NetDisk must have a Write Key.
• Each NetDisk must be disabled.
• Cannot bind NetDisk that is already bound.
• Two NetDisk that are being bound must be disabled or removed from all other user’s computers. Only
one person, who is performing the binding, can have the NetDisk enabled on their computer.
Mirroring
Mirroring is another advanced feature provided with NetDisk. The purpose of mirroring is to continuously
create a copy of data from one NetDisk to another NetDisk, whenever data is written to a NetDisk.
Requirements for Mirroring
• Each NetDisk has to have a Write Key.
• Each NetDisk has to be disabled.
• Cannot mirror a NetDisk that is already mirrored.
• A NetDisk which you are saving the data to, must be same size or larger than the NetDisk you are
copying the data from.
• Two NetDisk that are being mirrored must be disabled or removed from all other user computers. Only
one person, who is performing the mirroring, can have the NetDisk enabled on their computer while the
mirroring is being performed. After mirroring is completed, users can enable or register the mirrored
NetDisk.
Mirroring and Aggregation are done exactly the same way, except for selecting Aggregation-Bind Button for
the Aggregation and Mirror Button for the Mirroring. Refer to Aggregation-Bind for Mirroring. Refer to
Aggregation - Unbind to undo Mirroring.
