The second SoftNAS instance must mirror the first in almost every respect. This means adequate storage space must be provided, as well as a storage pool ready to receive the volume in a failover situation.

  1. Log onto the 2nd instance using its public IP address, the softnas username, and the password (the one created at instance configuration, unless changed).

  2. Add a disk by following the instructions provided earlier in Adding Storage via the SoftNAS UI. Provide the same type and amount of storage and the same number of disks.
     
  3. Create a storage pool by following the instructions provided above in Creating a Storage Pool. The pool MUST have the same name as the pool in the first SoftNAS instance.

You will NOT create a volume on the second instance. The storage pool on the 2nd instance will serve as a landing strip for the volume (and any data contained within) in a failover situation once SnapReplicate™ and SNAP HA™ have been configured.
