CONFIGURING the SERVER
STEP 4 SELECT RAID CONFIGURATION
(1) One PCIe RAID controller
Cisco can provide factory-configured RAID systems depending on the RAID controller chosen and
the number of drives ordered. Factory-configured RAID options are listed in
Tab le 5 along with
each RAID card description. RAID levels 50 and 60 are supported, although they are not available
as factory-configured RAID options.
Select RAID Controller Options
Select one RAID controller and an appropriate RAID configuration option listed in Table 5.
NOTE: When creating a RAID volume, follow these guidelines:
■ Use the same capacity for each drive in the volume
■ Use either all SAS drives or all SATA drives
■ Use either all HDDs or all SSDs
NOTE: The number of RAID groups (virtual drives) supported per controller is as
follows:
■ LSI MegaRAID SAS 9270CV-8i RAID controller card = 64
■ LSI MegaRAID 9240-8i RAID controller card = 16
■ LSI MegaRAID 9220-8i RAID controller card = 16
