STORAGE TAB

The simplest way to conﬁgure installed disk drives is to use the Setup

Wizard from the Device tab and select One-Click Setup or Basic Setup

(see page 16). For other conﬁgurations, begin with the Storage tab.

From there, you can create, manage, and delete disk arrays, logical

drives, and spare drives.

Before conﬁguration, determine how the DataGuard Appliance will be

used, then consider your options for disk arrays, logical drives, spare

drives, RAID levels and ﬁle systems. If you plan to use iSCSI functions,

determine the capacity of the iSCSI drive or drives before creating any

logical drives.

Storage > Overview

STORAGE OVERVIEW

The ﬁrst item on the Storage tab is a Disk Array overview, which

provides the following information:

• ID—The identity number of the array, such as DA0, DA1,

DA2, etc.

• Alias—A name for the array as it appears in the DataGuard

Management Interface.

• Status—Shows operational status as a gray icon (OK), yellow

icon (error) or red icon (failure).

• Capacity—Indicates the total data capacity of the disk array.

• Free Capacity—Displays unused capacity on the physical drives.

• Media Patrol—Shows whether the feature is enabled or

disabled for this disk array.

• Number of Logical Drives—How many logical drives this

disk array contains.

ConFigurAtion

To prepare a DataGuard Appliance for use, you will need to

complete three major processes:

1. Create a disk array

2. Create a logical drive

3. Create a ﬁle system

Each of these processes will include multiple conﬁguration options;

read each section thoroughly before you apply new settings.
