Configuring and Using Mirror Sets and Stripe Sets With Parity

This section discusses using features that are available in Windows NT Server software to implement mirror sets and stripe sets with parity. It does not discuss configuring or using hardware RAID arrays.

There are four topics in this section:

• A general overview of mirror sets ands stripe sets, and the information that you see in Disk Administrator.
• Configuring the system partition on a mirror set, which describes the best way to implement a mirror of the system partition. It also describes starting up by using the shadow system partition, and rebuilding the mirror set after you have repaired or replaced the failed component.
• Procedures for creating mirror sets and stripe sets with parity.
• Guidelines and procedures for reconstructing mirror sets and stripe sets with parity after you have repaired or replaced the failed component.
