The following table describes three important parameters to consider when you are creating a new share:
Table 12. Parameters
Parameter Default Setting Description
PhysicalDiskRedundancy 1 Number of failed disks that the new share can
handle.
NumberOfColumns 2 Number of underlying physical disks across which
one stripe of data for a virtual disk is written.
NumberOfDataCopies 2 Settings you can use to congure mirroring:
• 2, the default setting, creates a two-way
mirror.
• 3 creates a three-way mirror, or species dual
parity.
NOTE: 2x2 congurations provide 2-way
mirroring, and 2x3 congurations provide
2-way mirroring plus enclosure awareness.
To support 3-way mirroring, you must
have a 2x4 conguration, which provides
3-way mirroring plus enclosure awareness.
IMPORTANT: If you are using exclusively
SSDs, you are limited to a 2x2
conguration.
