[sridharan_p]

We are having a RAID Controller with Service Part No. 435709-001, can i implement RAID 5 on rx2660 with this controller on rx2660 running on HP Ux

regards

Sridharan.

This controller can only create 2 pairs of mirrored disks, for RAID 5 you need the optional P400 smartarray controller.

Hi Sridhar,

If you are using P400/P600/P800 Card ,  RAID 5 Is supported.

Fault Management
P400 supported RAID configurations:
                      -  RAID 6 (Advanced Data Guarding)**
                      -  RAID 5 (distributed Data Guarding)
                      -  RAID 1+0 (Striping & Mirroring)
                      -  RAID 1 (Mirroring)
                      -  RAID 0 (Striping)

P600 supported RAID configurations:
                      -  RAID 6 (Advanced Data Guarding)
                      -  RAID 5 (distributed Data Guarding)
                      -  RAID 1+0 (Striping & Mirroring)
                      -  RAID 0 (Striping)

P800 supported RAID configurations:

----------------------------------------------------

If you are using 347786-B21- HP 64/133 2-ports Int PCI-X SAS Host Bus Adapter,

Fault Tolerance: Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced

Drive Mirroring (RAID 1): This allocates half of the drive array to data and the other half to mirrored data, providing two copies of every file.

HTH,

Surendar
