To maintain shelf and drawer loss protection for a pool or volume group, use the criteria specified in the following table.
| Level | Criteria for shelf/drawer loss protection | Minimum number of shelves/ drawers required |
|---|---|---|
Pool |
For shelves, the pool must contain no more than two drives in a single shelf. |
6 for shelves |
RAID 6 |
The volume group contains no more than two drives in a single shelf or drawer. |
3 |
RAID 3 or RAID 5 |
Each drive in the volume group is located in a separate shelf or drawer. |
3 |
RAID 1 |
Each drive in a mirrored pair must be located in a separate shelf or drawer. |
2 |
RAID 0 |
Cannot achieve shelf/drawer loss protection. |
Not applicable |
|
Shelf/drawer loss protection is not maintained if a drive has already failed in the pool or volume group. In this situation, losing access to a drive shelf or drawer, and consequently another drive in the pool or volume group, causes loss of data. |
