Comment

everRunSystem Disk

Recommended minimum configuration for physical machines:

  • One logical volume protected by RAID1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10

    or

  • Two non-RAID or RAID 0 volumes.

When using multiple volumes per RAID set, the RAID set should set a type that provides redundancy, such as RAID1, RAID5, or RAID10.

USB CD/DVD Drive

USB CD/DVD drives are supported on all platforms for everRun installation.

Direct-Attach Tape Drives
