RAID-1 (mirroring) is used for all file systems on the device. This setup ensures reliable execution of
the software in all cases.
Note The WAAS software uses the CONTENT file system for both the Wide Area File Services (WAFS) file
system and the data redundancy elimination (DRE) cache.
Manually Marking and Unmarking WAE Disk Drives
A disk drive on a WAAS device can be marked as a good drive, one that is operating properly and being
used, or as a bad drive, one that is not operating properly and will not be used after a reload command
is executed.
The following scenario shows how to mark disk01 as bad, reload the WAAS device, and then mark
disk01 as good so that it can be used again.
1. Mark disk01 as bad by entering the disk mark EXEC command as follows:
WAE# disk mark disk01 bad
disk01 is marked as bad.
It will be not used after reload.
2. Display the details about the disks by entering the show disks details EXEC command. Disk01 is
now shown with an asterisk (*) because it was marked after the WAAS device was booted. Notice
that Disk01 is reported as “Normal” (currently being used).
WAE# show disks details
Physical disk information:
disk00: Normal (h00 c00 i00 l00 - DAS) 76324MB( 74.5GB)
disk01: Normal (h01 c00 i00 l00 - DAS) 76324MB( 74.5GB) (*)
(*) Disk drive won't be used after reload.
Mounted filesystems:
MOUNT POINT TYPE DEVICE SIZE INUSE FREE USE%
/ root /dev/root 34MB 28MB 6MB 82%

3. Reload the WAAS device by entering the reload EXEC command. When asked, press Enter to
proceed with the reload. After the WAAS device is reloaded, Disk01, which is marked as a bad disk
drive, will not be used.
WAE# reload
Proceed with reload?[confirm]
...
4. After the reload is completed, display the details about the disks by entering the show disks details
EXEC command. Disk01 is now shown as “Not used (*)” because Disk01 was detected as bad after
the WAE was rebooted.
WAE# show disks details
