Posting this on behalf of a friend:
I have a Dell R520 server with 7 disks installed.
1 Disk for the Operating System (Cent OS)
6 Disks for Storage
What i want to do is have it setup like the below diagram, i.e. 3 Virtual Disks (1&2, 3&4, 5&6 paired etc)
To do this I'm using RAID 1, is this the correct RAID config to use ?
The reason i ask is that using Dells Lifecycle controller i can only seem to setup 1 Virtual Disk at one time. If i create one Virtual Disk which pairs disks 1&2 and then afterwards try and create another one which pairs 3&4 the previous Virtual Disk (1&2) is removed.
Anyone clued up as to what I'm doing wrong ?
