Configure Multiple Volumes

The Advanced Configuration Wizard allows many combinations of storage policies and capacities.

This procedure shows how to modify a basic SAFE configuration so that it contains several volumes,

each with different storage policies. This example illustrates one possible combination that allocates

all of the system’s available capacity to:

● One 50-gigabyte (GB) SAFE volume on drives 0 and 1, with no reserved space for a Hot

Spare.

● One FAST volume that uses the remaining capacity on drives 0 and 1.

● One BIG volume that uses all of the capacity on drives 2, 3, and 4.

The same sequence of steps applies to any configuration you choose to implement; only the storage

policy and capacity allocation vary for different configuration options.

Note: Before reconfiguring an existing SiI 4726 Storage Appliance with a new configuration, back-

up the data. Use the Disk Management utility provided by your OS to delete all SiI 4726 partitions -

except the unallocated, un-initialized disk that represents the SteelVine processor. Once the

configuration and partitioning of the new volumes has taken place, it is safe to restore the backed-

up data to the new configuration. See “Partitioning volumes” for details.

1. Click the Configure Box toolbar button to open the Basic Configuration Wizard.
