    The RAID 1 set is the operating system, NBU, etc. and not used to house backup data.

    Two disk drives in a RAID 1 configuration provide the operating system for the appliance. These disk drives are located in slots 0 and 1 in the appliance front panel.

    /inst is the location where you have place the software upgrade files etc.,

    whenever you wish to upload new appliance maintenance patch for upgrade purposes, you should place it inside /inst/patch/incoming/

    Once there, then you need to validate whether that file is intact, either you do it by md5sum checks or go to

    Main.menu> Manage>Software>List downloaded

    Here, the file you uploaded will be verified, only once that verification is successful, you can proceed with

    >install <file_Name>

    Thanks.
