Lyror Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) 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, 2017 by Lyror Quote Link to comment
SSD Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 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.

Lyror Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 I don't really know is the VM disk procted by failure or not. Yes or No? Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) 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, 2017 by Squid Quote Link to comment
