Spare Disks Allocation
Check the box and select the number of spare disks you want
to reserve. A spare disk is used to automatically replace a
failed Peer Set member.
If there are unused drives remaining after allocating the
number of spares requested, they are used for other peer
sets. If there is an insufficient number of drives left to create
a final peer set, the drives are configured as additional
spares.
Reserve Space for
Snapshots
Check the box and select the percentage of the storage
space you want to reserve for snapshots. It is recommended
that at least 20% of your SnapScale storage space be set
aside for snapshots.
NOTE: Once the SnapScale cluster is created, the storage
space reserved for snapshots can only be
decreased. It can never be increased.
