Configuring the FT server to duplex mode

Sign into Windows and name the server if this is the first time logging into the server.
The server automatically reboots.
After the reboot, login to Windows.
Insert the secondary drive.
It takes a few minutes to initialize.
While the secondary drive is initializing, configure the Network Adapter Teams:
1. Open Network & Internet settings and assign names to all the adapters that you want to team. (Example: Control 1, Control 2, FTP 1, FTP 2, ISILON 1, ISILON 2, as applicable)
2. Right-click on the Computer icon on the Desktop and select Manage to go to Server Management.
3. Select Local Server.
4. Under NIC Teaming, click Disabled.
  
  Note: In the 20191217-AQU-2016w image, the NIC Teaming is already Enabled and the teams must be deleted before continuing.
  1. In the TEAMS window, select the TASKS drop-down menu.
  2. Create the Control team from Control 1 and 2. You can use the default options under Additional Properties.
  3. Create the FTP and/or ISILON teams in the same way.
5. Exit Server Management.
6. Configure the teams’ IP address in Network & Internet settings.
On the Desktop, double-click the ftSys Management Tools shortcut.
Go to ftServer (Local) | ftServer I/O Enclosures | I/O Enclosure – 10* | Storage Enclosure - 40 | Slot - 1 | Disk - 0.
Right-click on Disk – 0 and select Create RDR Virtual Disk.
Follow the pop-up instructions and close them when finished.
An automatic reboot will occur in 2 minutes—just allow it to reboot on its own.
After the reboot, reopen the ftSys Management Tools.
Go to ftServer (Local) | ftServer I/O Enclosures | I/O Enclosure – 11* | Storage Enclosure - 40 | Slot - 1 | Disk – 0.

Note: *10 is the upper server and 11 is the lower server.
Right-click on Disk – 0 and select Add Physical Disk to RDR Virtual Disk.
Syncing the disks takes about 3 hours.

Note: You can do minor configurations to the FT server while it is syncing.
Monitor the syncing progress either in the secondary Disk – 0 window or in the ftServer (Local) | Logical Disk Information | RDR Virtual Disk 3 window.
The primary Disk – 0 window displays Simplex under Op State: State until the disks finish syncing.
Verify that the disks indicate Duplex after syncing is finished.
Reboot the FT server and go back into F2 – Setup.
1. In the Server tab, set the OS Boot Monitor back to Enabled.
2. Save Changes and Exit.
The server is now setup to be fault-tolerant.

Configure the D:/E: drives before configuring the FT server to a GV STRATUS system.

The D: (data) drive can be set to 200 GB and E: (backup) the remaining space.
