Creating disk groups
Thenewdisksyouaddwilltypicallybeusedtocreatenewdiskgroups. Althoughyoucannotselect
which disks will be part of a disk group, you can control this by building the disk groups sequentially.
Add the disk drives required for the first disk group, and then create a disk g roup using these disk drives.
Now add the disk drives for the second disk group, and then create that disk g roup. This process gives
you contr
ol over which disk drives are included in each disk group. Figure 7 shows the sequential
building
of vertical disk groups.
NOTE:
Standard and FATA disk drives must be in separate disk groups. Disk drives of different capacities and
spindle speeds can be included in the same disk group, but you may want to consider separating
them int
oseparatediskgroups.
