3.9.2 Activating RAID 1
RAID 1 requires a minimum of 2 hard disks. The size of the RAID 1 recording combination is the smaller of
the 2 disks installed in your server. If, for example, you have a 1 TB disk and a 2 TB disk, the RAID 1
recording disk has a 1 TB capacity.
When you apply RAID 1, the system formats the selected disks and erases the data on the
disks. You will lose all the data on the disks.
To activate RAID 1, proceed as follows:
1. Reboot the server and access the XOa Installer menu.
2. Choose Update current system.
3. Choose Manage recording disks.
4. Use the arrows keys to select the desired hard disk and press Enter to activate the selection. An X
appears in front of the selected hard disk (between the brackets). Select two hard disks, then choose
Make RAID 1 (mirror) from selected disks.
Do not select three or four disks. The third and fourth disk will then be configured as spare
disks within the RAID 1 configuration. If you want to put disk 1 and 2 in RAID 1, and also
disk 3 and 4 in RAID 1, execute this step twice.
5. When mirroring has finished, choose Main menu.
6. Choose Reboot.
You can check which disks are in RAID 1 mode in the XOa client software.
Launch the XOa client software and choose System > Maintenance > Harddisks. At the bottom of the
window you find the Harddisks section. The Type column indicates whether the disk is a RAID 1 disk.
