Ok got a new ml370 g2 with a 5304 controller and 5 72 gig drives. I was going to config it as 2x drives mirrored and 3x drives on raid 5, with array 1 logical drives as 16 gig and 48 gig, and the array b as the full 138 gig. THIS SERVER IS GOING TO BE A NEW EXCHANGE ENTERPRISE BOX.
1. iS THAT SETUP OK OR WOULD YOU USE THE aDVANCED DATA GUARD THAT COME WITH THE 5304 or am i ok with what ive choosen.
2 also ive not set up a raid before but so far ive made array a and b ok with the correct drive etc, but for some reason win2k wont see it yet. ?????? Does the raid card have to initalise the drives etc and once its done that will i see them. What do i do once ive grouped and saved the config, ive made the logical drives etc, but i havnt formatted them as when i insert win2k it cant see any drives as of yet ??? anyone help ?
