RAID CONFIGURATION ON DL 180 G5

[antonio zucchini]

HI I would configure and buy my first dl 180 g5 hp rack server for my company but i have some questions to solve before to buy it.

I want ask if it is possibile to set a raid configuration with two array in raid 1:

array 1 2 hd sas 146 gb in raid 1

array 2 2 hd sata 750 gb in raid 1.

I could handle this configuration with only controller like p400/256 or i have the need of another controller ?

hi antonio

"""array 1 2 hd sas 146 gb in raid 1""
Yes you can

""array 2 2 hd sata 750 gb in raid 1.""
yes you can too

I mean yes you can mix HDDs in the same server having SAS and SATA since the HDD backplane can handle both at the same time

and for the second question
yes the p400 in fact can handle up to 12 HDDs in that server, so yes your configuration is possible and you can buy your server without worries

bye
