https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/smart-array-p400-512-multiple-array-support/m-p/3824121#M20955 One of the Proliant DL580-G4 configurations comes packaged with a Smart Array P400/512 controller. I was hoping to spec a mirrored set of drives (with spare) for the O.S. boot, plus a RAID5 set (with its own spare) for the data volume. <BR /><BR />Does this Array controller support a multi-array configuration such as this?<BR /><BR />I know the controller has 8 SAS ports but I have yet to build a server with this particular Array card, and was unsure of the particulars on its RAID configurations.<BR /><BR />Thanks.
