DL380G5 Raid Confguration

[W.Nicol]

We want to configure 2 x 36 GB SAS in RAID 1 and 4 x 146 GB SAS in RAID 1. Is this possible with the internal RAID Controller, ore do we need a second one?
Is the Drive Backplane able to work with two SCSI Controllers?

if you want to use HDDs with different sizes
you need to use a second controller card, yes the backplabe ios able to work.

First of all, which Array controller are you using at this moment?

Hi,

Yes you can use the Smart Array Controller for making 2x36 GB SAS in 1 logical drive(e.g. for OS) and 2nd logical drive for the 4x146gb HDD's. Another controller os prefferer if you want to use e.g. tape drive , 1st because it uses parallel Scsi and 2nd because it will slow down the speed of the HDDs.

Timur, we will use the P400/512 Array Controller, which is standard in the High Performance Models

Then PAC is correct. You can create the configuration you want with a single controller.

Thanks for Your help.
Seems that the type of the used Array P400/512 make the story correct.
