Hi all,
I was 'given' a set of 4 MD1200's, 12-2TB drives in each hanging off a PERC H800 card. The hardware is in a remote location I can't get to - otherwise I'd just use the RAID BIOS utility.
I'm to configure this in a RAID 50 - 4 RAID 5's wrapped in a RAID 0 if I get the concept.
I've never done a RAID 50 before, and the manual is entirely unclear how to set this up.
Is it:
create raid5 e0:s0, etc. through the 4 RAID 5's, then
create raid0 - but here I get stuck. How to specify the 4 RAID 5's?
Or is it:
create raid50 ...and then type out the 4 raid 5's in order?
Would anyone be able to help with the syntax & order of operations?
Many thanks!
