3. To implement the SAFE storage policy the Basic Configuration Wizard creates two volumes Each volume consists of two hard disk drives that mirror each other BIG A storage policy configuration in which multiple physical hard disk drives are concatenated and treated as one large volume This configuration allows the end user to increase logical volume size beyond the capacity of individual hard disk drives BIG provides the maximum amount of storage space but no additional performance or data redundancy The Basic Configuration Wizard implements the BIG storage policy by concatenating all the hard disk drives into a single volume FAST A storage policy in which I O processing is balanced evenly in a method known as striping equivalent to RAID 0 Striping increases storage operation speed as each portion of data is divided into segments that are written to different disks sim ultaneously FAST offers the best performance in terms of speed but has no redundancy of data 5 Bay RaidSystem User Manual 1 1 2 Prerequisites The VPMP 75511R VPMA 75511R installation has the following hardware and software prerequisites for the host computer s Hardware For x86 platforms An Intel PHI SOOMHz equivalent or faster For Mac platforms A Mac G4 500MHz or faster CD ROM drive 64 MB of RAM minimum 250 MB of free hard disk space Super VGA 800 x 600 or higher resolution with 256 colors Mouse or compatible pointi
