Bros,
How can i configure RAID5 in p550 machine. I have the ff: devices installed in my server
> 5709 and 5703 and 8 disks installed in the machine
Basically, I have mirrored OS so thats 2 hdisks and i have
6 pdisks candidate that i can see. However the catch is that i can see 2x scsi devices under PCI-X sisioa0 and sisioa1.
sisioa0>> hdisk0, sisioa1 >> pdisk2
hdisk1 pdisk3
pdisk0 pdisk4
pdisk1 pdisk5
WHAT I WANT TO DO is configure 6 pdisks to be in one whole array of RAID 5. However, what happens is everytime i can configure new/create an array, i get to choose either sisioa0 or sisioa1, therfore i get to choose only those pdisks within the scsi bus. HOW CAN I CHOOSE all pdisks candidate disks? PLEase help me urgently need to confgure this.
thanks!
