DR4000 System and Data Operations

Data is stored and resides on the Dell DR4000 system, which is a 2-Rack Unit
(RU) appliance, and the system software is pre-installed. The internal drives
of the system are configured as a Redundant Array of Independent Disks
(RAID) 1 on the RAID Controller, which is considered to be volume 1.
The data being backed up is stored on virtual disks that reside on the
appliance. The hot-swappable data drives that are attached to the RAID
controller are configured as:
• 11 drives operating as RAID 6, which act as virtual-disks for data storage.
• The remaining drive (drive 12) acts as the global hot-spare drive for the
system.
The DR4000 system supports RAID 6, which allows the appliance to continue
read and write requests to the RAID array virtual disks even in the event of
concurrent disk failures, providing protection to your mission-critical data.
