Hi everyone,

Kinda strange question this but here goes.

We have the above machine utilising all but 2 of its disk slots in a raid 1 - OS/ raid 5 data setup.

This leaves us with two disks free. We are quickly running out of disk space now. If we used the two disks to make another raid 0 config, can you run a netware NSS volume over two different raid configs on the same controller (ie one data volume split over a raid 1 and a raid 5 set of containers)

Cheers

If you are using a perc for the raid, the os would see each container as a single disk so it wouldn't really care.

I left netware at v5 so only read about nss, I assume you can add the 2 disks, create a container, add the volume to the storage pool. Shouldn't be a problem.

Have you thought about changing the data disks for bigger ones? or some perc's iirc can expand its container to add additional member disks? Not sure how netware would react to it though..

Usual disclaimers.. backup your data first before experimenting
