Hi all,
Just accquired a Dell CS PowerEdge that has 12TBs in it.
I didn't realise at the time, but these are span across two Dell PERC 6Ir controllers.
I seem to be able to create a VD in one of the controllers for 8 of the drivers, and another VD in the other controller for 4 drives
RAID 10 is what I've gone for, but not sure if this is the best config for VMware.
I wondered if there was a way to merge the two controllers together so you could see all 12 physical disks in the one screen and configure the RAID through there.
Also, any preferred settings re block size, write-back / through, etc, would be great. Thanks
