P2000 RAID10

CLEB — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 14:49:31 GMT

I'm trying to create the biggest RAID10 vdisk on a P2000G3 FC array. It has 24 x 600GB SFF 10K drives.

I've been able to create a RAID10 vdisk with 16 of these drives plus 1 spare. Is this the biggest possible RAID10 vdisk with this config?

Thanks

According to the quickspecs (AFAIR) the biggest RAID10 and 50 has up to 16 drives. You may check the quickspecs again.

I previously had a vdisk of 24 disks in RAID50 so this might not be the case anymore.

Can't seem to load the quickspecs currently.

Vdisks can span across multiple enclosures, where drives used in the Vdisk can be contained in different enclosures. The maximum number of drives that can be used in RAID 1 Vdisk is 2; RAID 0, 3, 5, 6, and 10 is 16; and for RAID 50 Vdisk is 32.
