Configuring switched disks
Switched disks are independent disk pools which have been
configured as part of an 
IBM® i
cluster. Switched disks allow data and applications
stored within an independent disk pool to be switched to another system.
- Starting mirrored protection
The Add Disk Unit and New Disk Pool wizards guide you through the process of adding pairs of similar capacity disk units to a protected disk pool. When you have your disks configured correctly, you are ready to start mirroring for mirrored protection. - Stopping mirrored protection
When you stop mirrored protection, one unit from each mirrored pair becomes nonconfigured - Adding a disk unit or a disk pool
The Add Disk Unit wizard allows you to use an existing disk pool to add new or non-configured disk units. - Evaluating the current configuration
Before you change the disk configuration of your system, it is important to know exactly where the existing disk units are located in relation to disk pools, IOAs, and frames. - Making an independent disk pool highly available
To make an independent disk pool highly available, it becomes managed by clustering using a device cluster resource group.
