Configuring RAID
g. Close the Progress Report and repeat these steps for other unbound disks. If
specified by your system design, you can bind some disks as Hot Spares, as
explained in
“Binding Hot Spare drives” on page 751
. When you are done, if
you did not bind any extra Hot Spares, you should have the following results:
For nearline storage, on the primary RAID chassis you should have two RAID
1 RANKs of two disks each and one Hot Spare Disk. The remainder of the disks
(in one or more Expansion chassis) should be bound as RAID 6 RANKs, with
six disks to a RANK. If have an even number of Expansion chassis (either two
chassis or four chassis), you should have five RAID 6 RANKs across every two
chassis. If you have an uneven number of chassis, you will have three drives left
over that do not fit in one the six drive RANKs. You can bind these extra drives
as Hot Spares if desired.
