Dear Mike
Thx for everything, your posts cleared everything for me.
I will ask for a price to 2052 SFF model (Q1J03A) even though i dont find a concrete answer that i can connect to it with the same way a P2000 G3 but i suppose it will.
I have the P2000 LFF model so i will buy 2 x disk IO modules AP844B to it and i will be fine and as i see them are very cheap.
As for the tiering from what i had read its better for my environment since its mixed use but i have 1 last question and i promise i will not bother again :-)
This has to do with the Final disk configuration
I will have 8x600GB SAS in Raid 10 and 4x3TB MDL in Raid10 also so after i will create the raids (both as Raid10) then enable the tiering and in settings i declare
The 2 SSD's in raid1 as Performance tier (Owner A or B)
The 8 SAS in raid10 as Standard tier (Owner A controller)
The 3 MDL in raid10 as Archive tier (Owner B Controller)
Then i create a Disk Group of everything and automatic tiering will do its magic, correct?
Is there any point to devide the groups from performance point of view between the 2 controllers or the above examble is my best case scenario? meaning for examble the 8 SAS to 2 raid 10 partitions each one with 4 disks and each one assigned in different controller?
Really thx for everything.
