Raid 1+0 Configuration in E200i Controller

[Witono Djamin]

Is it possible to configure Raid 1+0 in E200i Controller and what is the procedure? Are there any special configuration to look at?

hi

no just use SmartStart CD in case it's a 300 - 500 - 700 Series Proliant or ORCA (F8 during POST) too. ORCA for 100 Series

just lunch either of those utilities and that's it

Thnxs Karlo,

I have a ML350 G5 Proliant server with the e200i controller with 4 disk currently configured in raid-5.
I can afford to get the server down, add 2 more disks and reconfigure to Raid-10.

If the smartstart is enough without going in the POST F8 option, this will be ok for me.

OK ok

you have the OS already install in that case you don't need to bring your server down

just use array configuration utility (ACU) and add those 2 HDDs and migrate your RAID

Errr... need some help here, how do I enter into the ACU ?

Our server is Proliant ML350 G5 with E200i controller, I need to rebuild the RAID thus need to access the ACU during POST screen.

Many thanks in advance... :)

Hi,

ACU is a web based tool inside the OS. In the post the tool used will be ORCA... You can get it by pushing F8 during the POST...

Got another problems, 1 of the HDD in RAID1 is faulty and the HDD's model no longer available.

If I replaced the HDD with similar capacity but different model, can it re-build the array ?

Many thanks in advance.

If the specification of both the hard drives are same and both are HP qualified options you can go ahead and replace it. should not be any problem.

Many thanks
