I am in an all Dell environment, but don't see a Dell storage forum here. The Dell PERC4/DC is an OEM version of the LSI MegaRAID 320-2 so I thought this forum might be appropriate.
I have a Dell 220S, which is a direct connect SCSI enclosure that hold 14 drives in either split (7&7) or joined (14) bus configuration. I'm thinking of configuring two 7 drive busses. In each bus have two RAID 0 stripes - One with 5 drives the other with two drives. I want two have each bus controlled by its own channel on the controller. Then mirror the two busses together for redundancy.
Here's a rough diagram to help explain:
Is this configuration possible with the PERC4/DC? Any tips or guidance would be much appreciated.
