Hello all-
I have a old Compaq ML380 Proliant running Windows 2000.. there are 14 bays on this array but we're only using 5 bays containing 36.4gb drives.. My manager would like to set it up thru Windows 2000 with something concerning "foreign media" as far as the setup goes?? I guess my question is "how do you normally attach this array to the server"? I understand that physically is would require the right SCSI cable so this part has been ordered.. but how do you configure this drive array to be seen by the server?? is foreign media a Windows 2000 server option I'm not aware of thru Disk Management?? Once he gets past this hurdle he would like the drives to be configured as Raid 0 and then RAID 10, I suppose the first drive will be configured as raid 0 for the system/OS and the rest of the drives will contain all the apps/data and would be raid 10.. this makes sense, just am not too sure on how to configure this array on the Proliant server..
Any tips would be greatly appreciated..
gman
