
LVM of hard drives including system partition is not supported. LVM is supported on data drives
configured as RAID1 or RAID1+0. However, configuring RAID with LVM logical volumes is not
supported.
Be sure to place /usr partition in the /(root) partition because boot process would be complex if located
in any other partition.

8.7.3 Notes for Double Backup
In a single backup configuration, in case a CPU/IO module or backup device fails, backup is not possible
until the failed part is repaired or replaced. If this does not meet your system requirements, consider a
double backup configuration.
Refer to the following notes on double backup configuration.

When configuring two sets of a SAS controller, a SAS cable and a backup device, two backup devices
are recognized separately by the OS. When scheduling an automatic backup job, make a job for each
backup device so that the other backup device can backup in case one device fails.
