6.6 Manage Disk – Four Disk Drives
If your unit has four disk drives, MaxAttach has a default disk configuration
of a Mirrored Set of Spanned Disks. The first time that the unit is turned on,
the mirror synchronization process will continue to run as a background
process until it finishes (approximately 3 hours). During this time, the unit is
accessible, although response time may be slower than usual. You can leave
this default setting or you may select the alternate configurations of:
• Four Individual Disks
• A Pair of Spanned Disks or
• A Mirrored Set of Individual Disks
If you select one of these alternate configurations, you must click on the Apply
button to apply the change.
6.7 Backup Configuration Settings
The configuration settings (including shared folders) on your MaxAttach unit
can be backed up using the Backup tab on the Tools menu. You can also stage
periodic automatic backups of the configuration settings using this tool.
This may be useful if you need to re-set the system (as described in section
10.7) or restore the disks from backup tapes.
