Adding and Mirroring Data Disks

The installation process automatically configures the disks in the top-left slot of each storage module into a Stratus MPM mirrored disk volume. This volume becomes the system disk for the ESXi host.

If any additional disks are present in the system during installation, the installation process automatically configures the disks in matching slots of each storage module into additional Stratus MPM mirrored disk volumes; however, these remaining volumes are unformatted and unassigned. To use the volumes, you need to create VMFS datastores on them in ESXi Host Client or vSphere Web Client.

To create a VMFS datastore, follow the instructions in the vSphere Storage guide, but note the following:

On the Select Disk/LUN page, select a mirrored volume on which to create the datastore.
The Select Disk/LUN page displays a list of volumes that are available for formatting. Each existing mirrored volume is displayed as a Local STRATUS Disk (mpmn).
