Synchronizing Software RAID

All 23000 and 15000 appliances support two hard disk drives. By default, 15400 is
shipped with only one drive.
For appliances with two hard drives, the appliance uses RAID1 mirroring across both
hard disk drives. This lets the appliance continue to work if there is a hard disk failure.
The mirror rebuild is automatic. Both hard disk drives must be the same type.
First Boot Up
At first boot up, wait for up to three hours to let the hard disks fully synchronize. If you
reboot the appliance before the hard disks are synchronized, the synchronization
starts again from scratch at the next boot.
