Hi, everyone
I would like to confirm something to make sure I am understanding this correctly.
I have 2x DL380 servers with P420i Controllers with fully populated Disks in a RAID 5 Configuration.
1x Partition on the RAID 5 for system/boot and 1x Data (each)
Will I be able to assign that DATA volume and a CSV volume for Hyper-V?
Reasons for asking is an extract from this Blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/2012/06/02/10314262.aspx
"The clustered storage poolMUST be comprised of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connected physical disks. Layering any form of storage subsystem, whether an internal RAID card or an external RAID box, regardless of being directly connected or connected via a storage fabric, is not supported"
Does this mean I have to actually not buy and or configure a RAID controller and that these SAS disks needs to be moved to another controller somehow?
Or is it just a matter that this controller can be used however the disks should not form part of the RAID and just be single disks?
Thanks in advance
Geoff
