The configuration you specified is perfectly fine for a cluster install. You do not need two volumes for CFO. You do need two volumes for a destination filer in a SnapMirror configuration.

Hi,
I am setting up a pair of clustered 740's for the first time and have a question.
Each filer currently has one disk shelf. 6 of the disks are in the root volume, /vol/vol0, and the 7th is a hot spare. Is this configuration OK for a clustered pair? I was told by someone that for a cluster, I would need 2 distinct volumes on each head, although I am not entirely sure why. If that is the case, how do I remove drives from the root volume so that I can add them into a newly created volume?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Ari
