Getting Started If you want to change the disk configuration, select the desired RAID level and then click Next. For detailed information about the different RAID levels, see Appendix A, "Levels of RAID," beginning on page 169. When you click Next, the Disk Space Distribution page displays: 8. Capacity in your storage system is divided into partition: one for a shared public folder, one for user home folders, and one for backups. To accept the defaults, click Finish. Otherwise, specify the disk space allocations for the home user folders and the public folders in GB. The remaining space is allocated for backup. When you are done, click Finish. Note: You can expand the amount of disk space allocated for shared or home folders later as long as free disk space is available, but you cannot reduce it without reconfiguring your disks and losing all your data. If you plan to back up computer disks to your storage system, it is recommended that you use the minimum amount of space for shared or home folders, back up all the computer disks you plan to protect, and then expand the space allocated for shared folders. This ensures that adequate space is available for backups. 24 Intel® Entry Storage System SS4000-E User Guide
