Hello, we have an E2824 with 10 SSD drives in RAID 5 and 11 SAS drives in RAID 5, and we wanted to upgrade all the SAS drives to SSDs. Would this array support SSDs? We wouldn't use it for caching; it's all RAID 5.   ... View more

Do you know of any other methods by which we can monitor our E-Series? There is no SCOM Management Pack, not ActiveIQ integration, etc.   So when we have a system/disk/etc. failure, we need to solely rely on the e-mail alerts that the SANtricity OS sends, which gets many times swallowed up with all of the other million mails we get per day. What do you do? ... View more

If a "RAID1 volume" exists under a DDP(RAID Level 6), clicking an array operation (Add Capacity, View/Edit Settings) will cause a controller reset. Does anyone know anything about this issue?

Two of our E-Series certificates have expired. We would now like to have our internal CA issue two new ones. However, since September 2024, our colleagues at the CA have required CSR requests with a length of 4096 bits. Can the length of 4096 bits be set in the SANtricity environment? Or are the CSR requests always issued with 2048 bits? ... View more
