Good morning!

 

My FAS2220 has 12 1.62TB disks (According to the System Manager). I'm totally new to NetApp and we need to re-do the entire device.
My question are: What are my RAID options and with these RAID options, how much TB I'll have once RAIDed?

 

Thanks so much!

Kinda not very good config if you have only 12 drives .... but i would not suggest to YOU to reinstall system .... 

Are those aggregates raid-dp or raid-4? Do you have spares for each controller?

 

I would configure 12 drives as:

1) contr1 - 3 drives = raid-4 + hs (1 aggregate and 1 volume (root))

2) contr2 - 9 drives = raid-dp + hs (1 aggregate and 2 volumes (root, data)) ->  ~ 6x 1.62TB and deduct some for root volume

 

No, you cannot reconfigure without reinstall. 

Write down somewhere all licence keys from both controllers .... just in case

 

I hope your question about size and raid options is answered? 😉
