Enabling the Recovery Advanced Software
You can enable the Recovery advanced software in the MegaRAID Storage Manager software. When you enable Recovery, you create two virtual drives, one as a snapshot base or a source and the other as a snapshot repository. The base virtual drive contains the data that is stored in the repository virtual drive.
Perform the following steps to enable MegaRAID recovery:
|
1.
|
Select the Logical tab on the main menu dialog for the Logical view.
|
This is the snapshot base virtual drive.
NOTE A base virtual drive and a repository virtual drive can be associated with the same drives or a common set of drives, or the two virtual drives can be located on two completely separate set of drives. Using a separate set of drives for the base virtual drive and the repository virtual drives provides a performance advantage over using a common set of drives.
|
3.
|
Select Go To > Virtual Drive > Enable MegaRAID Recovery on the menu bar.
|
The Enable MegaRAID Recovery wizard appears. This wizard allows you to select the virtual drive to use as the snapshot repository.
