    How to configure the data disk in a RAID1 configuration on the DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000?

    The following instruction describes how to configure the data disk in a RAID1 configuration on the DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000.

    note.png WARNING

    The configuration of the data disks in RAID1 will cause DATA LOSS on the disks used to create the RAID configuration

     

    ⚠️ Note: Software-based RAID is also vulnerable when the OS drive fails as the configuration is software-based, in effect losing the RAID configuration and thus also the data.

    Requirements:

    A Bosch DIVAR IP all-in-one 4000 system is in place ready with OS and BVMS installed and configured.
