Hi.
I've got a MSA 2040 with 24 disks, and two virtual Pools: A, B
Pool A consists of one Virtual Diskgroup with 8 disk in Raid 10, and one virtual Volume.
Pool B consists of two virtual diskgroups in Raid 5. (7 disks + 9 disks.) in one Virtual Volume.
And the last two disks in global Spare
We need more space and a new volume, and I I'v got a new diskshelf with 10 disks available.
All the data has been moved to the Volume in PoolB, so this Diskgroup in Pool A can be deleted and recreated if reasonable.
Since PoolA consists of a Raid10 diskgroup with 8 disks. Is it ok to create a new Raid 6 diskgroup with 10 new disks, and add it to the same pool, or should I Create two Raid 6 diskgroups instead?:
(Delete the Raid10 diskgroup, and create two Raid 6 diskgroups:
8 disks in Raid6 + 10 disk in Raid 6)
This MSA is used in a two node Hyper-V Cluster..
