Hi,
My first post here and first time with CDOT (8.3).
System:
2520 HA with 12x900SAS
1 x Shelf with 12x900SAS & 4x400SSD
Ran through System Manager and did not assign drives which has given me a 50/50 split across the 2 nodes resulting in each controller having;
6x836GB (Shelf)
6x693GB (ADP partitions)
2x372GB (Shelf SSD)
So I would like to assign both the 6 Shelf drives and the 6 ADP partitions to the same aggregate ideally. When I create my first aggr it shows that I can have 6 drives from the ADP Partions on either controller which is setup with RAID-DP (which I would like) but this shows that there are no assigned spare drives and does not let me adjust this in System Manager. If I choose the shelf drives then it only lets me have 5 of the 6 with an assigned spare which is what I woudl expect form the ADP partitions as well. Am I missing something here? I know ADP onyl assigns 5 of the 6 drives to the root aggr, does this mean that the remaining spare is actually a spare for all ADP based drives as opposed to just a spare for ADP based aggrs? There fore the spare is taken care of already and I should just stop worrying and build away?
Thanks for reading and fingers crossed you can put my mind to rest.
Thanks,
James
