For NSS on NetWare, you can mirror your software RAID 0 devices to create a nested RAID 10 device. Use NSSMU to mirror the partition used by the pool on a RAID 0 device. The following procedure describes how to create the RAID 10 in NSSMU. You can also create the RAID 0 devices first in iManager, but you must use NSSMU to be able to select them for a mirror.
IMPORTANT:NSS management tools on Linux do not support creating nested software RAID 10 device.
In NSSMU, create a software RAID 0 device with 2 to 14 segments.
For information, see Section 13.6, Creating Software RAID Devices with NSSMU.
Repeat Step 1 one to three times to create 2 to 4 RAID 0 devices.
The RAID 0 devices you use to create the mirror must have no drives in common. Each drive you use to create the RAIDs can belong to only one of the RAID 0 devices.
In NSSMU, create a pool on one of the RAID 0 devices.
In NSSMU, select from the NSSMU main menu.
Press (Ins) to create a pool.
From the list of available devices, select one of the RAID 0 devices.
Assign all of the available space to the pool, then press Enter.
Create a RAID 1 device to mirror the pool.
In NSSMU, select from the NSSMU main menu.
Select the NSS partition for the pool you want to mirror.
Press F3 to create the RAID 1 device and mirror the partition.
From the available devices, select one to three of the remaining RAID 0 devices you created above, then press Enter.
Press to initialize and create the RAID 1 (mirror) device.
After the RAID device is created, the device ID appears in the window. This window is viewed from the RAID Devices NSSMU main menu. The RAID is a RAID 10.
