Mirroring different scsi drives?

Kelly Beauchaine — Fri, 09 Jul 2004 12:57:24 GMT

Can I mirror an 18G/10K Ultra3 SCSI with an 18G/15K Ultra320 SCSI on a DL360 G2? The server currently has two 36G Ultra3's in it, with a 5i controller, and I'm switching those out with the 18's as the server is being redeployed elsewhere for different application.
Are there any issues with the differences in these two 18's??
Thank You!
Kelly

Kelly:

You can install these two drives in this server without any problems.

The Ultra320 drive is backward compatible with the Ultra3 drive and the drive cage on the DL360 G2 should have no problem with the Ultra320 drive

John I know you're probably watching this :) Does it matter which drive is set as the primary and which is the mirror given the difference in RPM and seek time?
