Physical configurations

Internal storage drives

The two hard drives included with the DL380 G4 DP Storage Server are

configured for hardware RAID fault tolerance using the HP Smart Array

6i RAID Controller. The HDDs are hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. The

drives are configured by default into two logical drives at the controller

level.
The DL380 G4 DP Storage Server uses Microsoft Disk Manager (DM) to

present the 36 GB HDDs to the system as basic disks. The server uses two

logical drives as presented to it from the physical storage layer for the OS

and DON’T ERASE basic partitions. The internal DL380 G4 drives are

configured in a single RAID 5 partition. The non-OS logical drives are

used by DPM and should not be configured using DM.
