Set Raid across 2 MSA

[servitex]

Hi,

I've an MSA 2040 (with web management) and an MSA 2050 only set as second bay. Theses are both mapped to 2 ESXi servers (with one vCenter) and 1 Veeam Backup server. No vSAN is used as they're set as DAS

In case of faulty bay (mostly the MSA 2040), I've set the Pools in Raid-10 with the several dual RAID1 disk stripped on each MSA like this:

MSA 1: RAID1-1  / RAID1-2 / RAID1-3 / ETC

MSA 2: RAID1-1 / RAID1-2 / RAID1-3 / ETC

I'd simply like to know if in case of failure from one bay, the VM would carry on their activites, or cease a moment to switch into the other bay.

Thanks

Hello @servitex,

In case of failure, it will switch immediately without causing considerable latency in VMs IOps.
