RAIDCFG Issues • You can assign up to 10 Global hot spares using Raidcfg. Use the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management for assigning more than 10 Global hot spares. • USB keys should not be mounted to the /tmp directory. Inside the /tmp directory, create a new directory and mount the USB to this. • On Dell PERC H310 controllers, conversion of a RAID Capable Disk to Non-RAID disk and vice versa is not supported using raidcfg.
