The mirrors of a volume are separated at the specified component level, such as "Controller" or "Enclosure".

Provided by volume template: MirrorsOnSeparateComponents.

Variable: component Name of component (default value is "Enclosure").

Multipathing

Multipathing allows a volume to withstand failure of a number of paths to the disks. The I/O from and to the volume can potentially be spread across all the paths.

Extended by capability: MultipathingThroughMultiplePaths.

MultipathingThroughMultiplePaths

Multipathing allows a volume to withstand failure of the specified number of paths to the disks. The I/O from and to the volume can potentially be spread across all the paths. This capability extends the Multipathing capability.

Provided by volume template: MultipathingThroughMultiplePaths.

Variable: npaths Number of paths that are allowed to fail (default value is 2).

PrefabricatedDataMirroring

A volume uses prefabricated data mirroring that is configured on disks that are exported by an array. This capability extends the PrefabricatedDataRedundancy capability.

Provided by volume template: PrefabricatedDataMirroring.
