My quest is to drive the 5 internal drives in a RAID 10 + 1 hots spare and the additional array with no RAID. As I want to use Oracle ASM disks and let the ASM instance take care of that. I planned to use split bus on the PV220S and have 2 controller cards and match the ASM disks either side. This would be my perfect scenario. The LSI cards I have the RAID is optional, so you can set then just to be SCSI adaptors.
Can you tell me what is a supported card(s) for the PV220 and also compatible with the PE6850 that has a PERC 4e/Di? I spent most of the day onto Dell sales to try and find out and only ended up searching the website in vain. I am guessing an LSI20320IE but then again I got it really wrong before ;-) Yes, I have learnt a big lesson with the amount of time I have spent fruitlessly trying to ge this to connect.

The aforementioned configuration leads me to think they might be wanting to setup a raid 5 with 13 disks. The card shows it only supports 0 & 1 raid config. Also it is not a supported controller card for the PV220. http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/host_bus_adapters/scsi_hbas/lsi20320r/ _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
