Re: 8203-E4A RAID5 vs. ASP protection

Hello Jim,

Yep, you’ll need to pull the drive(s) you do not want in the RAID set.

If I only had known this before. :-)

Clearly that also means it can’t be part of the system ASP either.

Yes. I already have removed the disk in question from the ASP.

We used to fight with that aspect of starting RAID all the time. When adding drives, we would add them two at a time so we could include them in the RAID.

Can you elaborate on that? What's the benefit of doing this incrementally instead of all at once?

Now with the later RAID cards and software updates we have significantly more flexibility.

Good to know!

:wq! PoC
