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 11 and later of hardware controller recommends the preferred span layout.
NOTE: The configurations to create RAID Level 10 virtual disk with uneven span is not supported 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 11 and later of hardware controllers.
- The span layout for RAID Level 10 virtual disk that is created from the
Express Wizard on PERC 11 and later of hardware controllers uses the span layout as recommended by the firmware of the PERC 11 and later of hardware controller.
NOTE: Storage Management uses the PERC 11 and later of hardware controller-firmware suggested span layout for RAID Level 10 virtual disk creation.
- The PERC 11 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 11 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 11 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 11 and later of hardware controllers.
- When you import a foreign configuration from hardware controllers prior to PERC 11 and later of hardware controllers to PERC 11 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 11 and later of hardware controllers to other PERC 11 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 11 and later of hardware controllers to hardware controllers prior to PERC 11 is not supported.
