About 3360 compute node drive configurations

The Veritas Access 3360 Appliance compute node contains three 1.92 TB NVMe SSDs. Each SSD is accessible from the compute node's front panel. An embedded RAID controller on the compute node's mainboard configures two of the three SSDs into a mirrored RAID1 volume.

The RAID1 volume is labeled Volume 0. The NVMe SSDs that are located in slot 0 and slot 1 are configured as the RAID1, VOLUME0 device. These drives contain the appliance operating system, the operating system swap file, and the Veritas Access application. You can hot-swap one of these drives at a time if a drive becomes problematic. However, you cannot operate the appliance if both disk drives are removed.

The appliance uses the SSD that is located in slot 2 as a hot-spare disk. If a drive in RAID Volume0 experiences a hardware error, the appliance automatically initiates a RAID rebuild operation. During the rebuild operation, the appliance dynamically accesses the hot-spare drive from slot 2 and uses it to rebuild the RAID volume.
