I'm fairly new to RAID and I can't seem to get any definitive information from the IBM manual.
Running NT4SP6a on a Netfinity 5500 with RAID-5 across (5) 18.2G drives in the hotswap bays. I've got another 18.2G drive I need to set up as a standalone drive (not part of the RAID array). The MRP software folks say the DB mirror should be a separate physical drive and this is what i'm trying to set up.
I know i can assign SCSI addresses but not sure how in the hotswap bays. By what I read they're all pre-assigned ID's 1 thru 6 but I don't want the RAID to suck this drive in as part of the array.
Any help / hints appreciated. Thanks Jim Richards
