Configuring SCSI Physical Drives
SCSI Channel
Physical SCSI drives must be organized into logical drives. The arrays and logical
drives that you construct must be able to support the RAID level that you select.
Your RAID Controller Kit-G adapter has one SCSI channel.
Basic Configuration Rules
You should observe the following guidelines when connecting and configuring SCSI
devices in a RAID array:
•
You can place up to 15 physical drives in an array, depending on the RAID level.
•
Include all drives that have the same capacity to the same array.
•
Make sure any hot spare has a capacity that is at least as large as the largest drive
that may be replaced by the hot spare.
•
When replacing a failed drive, make sure that the replacement drive has a capacity
that is at least as large as the drive being replaced.
NOTE: Be sure to back up your data regularly, even when using RAID.
Current Configuration
Use Table 5.1 to record the current configuration for your physical devices.
