RAID Level 10 Virtual Disk Creation with Uneven Span
- Based on the minimum (and even) number of physical disks selection the firmware on the PERC 9 and later of hardware controller recommends the preferred span layout.
NOTE: RAID Level 10 virtual disk creation command from Storage Management CLI does not support optional parameter spanlength on PERC 9 and PERC 10 hardware controllers.NOTE: The configuration of RAID Level 10 virtual disk creation with uneven span does not support on PERC 12 controllers.
- The Advanced Wizard does not provide the option to select span length for RAID Level 10 virtual disk creation on PERC 9 and later of hardware controllers.
- The span layout for RAID Level 10 virtual disk created from the
Express Wizard on PERC 9 and later of hardware controllers uses the span layout as recommended by the firmware of the PERC 9 and later of hardware controller.
NOTE: Storage Management uses the PERC 9 and later of hardware controller-firmware suggested span layout for RAID Level 10 virtual disk creation.
- The PERC 9 and later of hardware controller firmware suggested span layout is same for the same set of physical disks.
- When you create a virtual disk using the Advanced Wizard on PERC 9 and later of hardware controllers the span layout information under Selected Physical Disks is not displayed.
- Sliced RAID Level 10 virtual disk creation on PERC 9 and later of hardware controllers support uneven span.
- Grouping of selected physical disks for RAID Level 10 virtual disk through the Advanced Wizard is not supported on PERC 9 and later of hardware controllers.
- When you import a foreign configuration from hardware controllers prior to PERC 9 and later of hardware controllers to PERC 9 and later of hardware controllers, the span layout for RAID Level 10 virtual disk remains the same.
- When you import a foreign configuration for RAID Level 10 virtual disks from PERC 9 and later of hardware controllers to other PERC 9 and later of hardware controllers the span layout does not change.
NOTE: Importing a foreign configuration (other than RAID Level 10 virtual disks) from PERC 9 and later of hardware controllers to hardware controllers prior to PERC 9 is not supported.
