Metrocluster - Smallest aggregate size?

I'm using Synergy for a MetroCluster solution and it doesn't let me create an aggregates of less than 6 disks. Surely this isn't right?

I'm looking for the usual dedicated Root Volume of 3 disks per controller.

MetroCluster needs root aggregate mirrored which means two identical plexes; assuming RAID_DP each plex is 3 disks which gives 6 in total.

Yes thanks, I had come to the same conclusion it was just how it showed in Synergy that initially confused me
