'''Setting up Disk mirroring(RAID 1)'''.
* First set up a new storage pool for all the available physical disk. This gives a logical view of all the physical disks as one single storage.
To do that go Server Manager->File and Storage Services->Volumes->Storage Pools. On the top right click on Tasks->create new storage pool.
Select all the available storage to create a new storage volume.
* Now we have to create a virtual disk on top of this storage pool. We are going to create a virtual disk with mirroring option which is essentially Raid 1. Go to Server Manager->File and Storage Services->Volumes->Storage Pools and select 'create a new virtual disk' option on the bottom left box. A set up window will pop up to create a virtual disk, name the virtual disk and select the option 'mirroring' in the Storage layout tab. Select 'fixed Size' option in the provisioning tab and then in the next tab select maximum size. click on create button. A new virtual disk will be created with the mirroring option. the size of the disk is half of the original physical storage because of the mirroring option that we selected.*After this a new Volume Wizard will pop up. This will create a volume and assign a drive letter. Select a letter for the drive, allocate tall the available space and click on create button. This will create a volume with the assigned letter.
