Raid Configuration MCS 7845 (best practice)

jason · ‎04-08-2008

I'm wondering what is the best practice for RAID configuration. Looking for examples of a 4 disk and 6 disk setups. Also, which drives to pull when breaking the mirror.

Is it possible to have a RAID 1+0 for 4/6 drives and have the mirroring set so that you would pull the top or bottom drives on a MCS 7835/7845?

I'm also confused that using the SmartStart Array Configuration I seem to be able to create one logical drive using raid 1+0 with only having 2 drives, how is that possible?

And links to dirrections would be appreicated.

Jason, what product are you installing on these servers?

ICM 7.0, CVP 4.x, CCM 4.2.3, unity, and the collaboration server 5.0 and e-mail manager options for ICM.

But to keep it simple let's look at a Roger set-up.

Sorry for the delayed response.
