Mirrorset Planning Considerations
Mirrorsets (RAID 1) use redundancy to ensure availability, as illustrated in Figure
2–7. For each primary disk drive, there is at least one mirror disk drive. Thus, if a
primary disk drive fails, its mirror drive immediately provides an exact copy of the
data. Figure 2–8 shows a second example of a Mirrorset.
