MULTIPLE
DISK
DRIVES
WITH
NETWARE
386 V3.1
The NetWare 386 v3.1 drivers support the installation
of
multiple SCSI hard disk drives
in the file server. This might be desired for several reasons:
- to support disk mirroring (fault tolerance)
- to support disk duplexing (fault tolerance)
- to increase total storage capacity
of
the system
-
to
install multiple drives per NetWare volume.
Disk mirroring and disk duple xing are described below.
2.2.1
Mirroring
Disk mirroring refers to two
or
more hard disks which are installed on a single host
adapter. These disk drives contain the same data.
If
one disk goes bad, the rest will
continue to function without interruption to the end user, thus keeping network down
time to an absolute minimum.

The following hardware considerations should be taken into account when preparing the
AHA-I540/1542/l640/1740/1744 disk drives for mirroring.
- The NetWare partitions should
be nearly the same size. NetWare will not
allow partitions that vary greatly in size to be mirrored. Consult the
NetWare Installation manual for the limitations.
- The drives must
be connected to the same SCSI cable on the same AHA-
1540/1542/1640/1740/1744.
- The SCSI ID
of
the drives must
be
different.
