October 12, 20178 yr Hey, i have a quick question. My DMS System don't support data on network drives. I create a 500GB VM Disk. If the Disk in the Array crashes will it be proteced? The VM Disk is on a disk in the array located. Lyror Edited October 12, 20178 yr by Lyror
October 12, 20178 yr If a disk on a parity protected array fails, it will switch over to being emulated. If a file, like your VM disk image file, is open, Windows should not even notice. But I had an issue few years back that as a disk died and became emulated, one block of data was corrupted. Others have not observed this, so it may have been fixed. But if this happens, I would recommend verifying files that were being written to the VM disk at the time of the failure event.
October 15, 20178 yr If its stored on a cache pool: yes If its stored on a disk in the parity protected array: yes If its stored on a disk mounted via unassigned devices: no If its stored on the cache drive and you only have the one then also: no Edited October 15, 20178 yr by Squid
