I have a Dell 2800 server with PERC4 e/di onboard RAID controller. I wanted to know if it is possible to build the following configuration:
Disk Array Drive 0,1,2,3 (RAID 1): Logical Drives C: / D:
Operating System
Swap file
SQL Code
Application Code
SQL Databases
Disk Array Drive 4,5,6,7 (RAID 10): Logical Drive E:
SQL Databases
There are currently 8 146GB drives in the server with a RAID 5 configuration.
When using the Dell Installation and Server Management Disc it will allow me to configure a max. of 2 drives for RAID 1 only.
Do I need to wipe out the current RAID array to get the desired setup? I have all the data that I wanted from the current configuration and want to start with a fresh install.
Thanks for any help on this topic.
