Apologies in advance if step-by-step guidelines are elsewhere bt I could not find them.
I've been tasked with setting up a new ProLiant DL380 G7 as the usual engineer is on holiday.
It has 2x72GB drives, mirrored, for the OS.
It also has 5x 300Gb drives, 1 of which is a spare. The other 4 are to be configured as follows but I cannot work out how.
The 300GB drives are to be configured as follows:
2x300GB in RAID 1 array
2x300GB in RAID 1 array
and then RAID 0 between those 2 RAID 1 arrays.
If I use ORCA, I can only do RAID 1+0 for each array. I cannot even find how to do it through ACU, I can only find option to do RAID 0 or RAID 1.
I am choosing 2 drives within each array so should I be choosing ALL 4 drives when configuring or am I missing something obvious?

Mark:
The only option is to create a 4 drive array, then specify your logical disks as RAID 1+0 (or RAID0,5,6)
Due to the nature of how the Smart array Controller works... you just have to "trust" that it will do it's job.
Simply select all 4 drives, and RAID 1+0.
if you need multiple logical disks, you need to use the Array Configuration Utility, available from HP on a bootable CD, or within the Smartstart Maintenance option.

Re: Creating RAID 10 on DL380 G7
Thanks Steven.
I trusted it as you mentioned and it worked.
I see afterwards that it automatically assigned drive bays to mirror groups. That was the bit I couldn't see to do manually.

Thanks to Steven.
His response to trust the Smart Array controller to do it's job worked.
