6400 Controller Max number of Arrays and Max number of Logical drives

Hi All,

Just been doing some array Expansion for a customer over the weekend (took 30hrs!) and I'm wondering about a few things...

Once the new disk had been added into the array (30hrs) I had the choice of either extending the existing logical drive into the new space (I assume another 30hrs worth!) or creating a new logical drive in the new space.

I did the latter as fortunately the Windows volume that was running out of space was already a Dynamic disk so I was able to extend into the new space.

But, this got me thinking...

How many logical drives per array can you have?
I found a doc that stated 32, but is that per array, per controller or just per controller?

Also while we're on the subject...

How many Arrays per controller can you have?
Couldnt seem to find this info at all...

BTW, all operating systems that I ever work on are Wintel based...

Thanks
Mark...
