9.16 Mirroring an Existing Pool with NSSMU

  1. Before you begin, review the Section 9.2.2, Guidelines for Software RAID 1 Devices.

  2. In NSSMU, select Partitions from the NSSMU main menu.

  3. From the list of existing partitions, select the NSS partition for the pool you want to mirror.

  4. Press F3 to create the RAID 1 device and mirror the partition where the pool resides.

  5. From the available devices, select up to three additional devices that you want to use as a segment, then press Enter.

    The space assigned is the same size as the existing partition. The segments must reside on different devices. If no partitions appear, it is an indication that either there are no partitions large enough or no free space exists on other devices.

  6. To confirm the RAID 1 device, select RAID Devices from the NSSMU main menu. The RAID 1 device ID appears in the RAID Devices window.
