Creating an Alternate System Disk
Creating an Alternate System Disk
Reasons to create an alternate system disk include:
Minimizing unplanned outage minutes by having an alternate system disk
configured as a backup.
Avoiding planned outages by configuring an alternate system disk to use in case
you must stop your current system disk.
Keeping your system running with the alternate system disk while the main system
disk is offline.
For more information, see the DSM/SCM User’s Guide.
