Re: MSA20 Logical Drive
You don't mention what RAID controller your MSA20 is hooked up to, but I'll assume a SmartArray 6400.
If you take a look at the QuickSpecs here:
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11587_div/11587_div.html
You'll see in the Technical Specifications section that a logical drive can only go up to 2TB...
If you want something larger then you'll have to do something at the operating system level.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

Re: MSA20 Logical Drive
It doesn't appear that any of the current parallel SCSI SmartArray controllers support logical drives > 2TB. The SAS controllers do, but that doesn't help if you've already bought the disks...
I guess you could purchase an additional 2 drives and then create 3 logical units which you can combine into one drive within Windows.
5 x 500 Raid-5 = 2000
5 x 500 Raid-5 = 2000
4 x 500 Raid-5 = 1500
Not the best use of the space though :-(
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob
