2950 Perc 5/i: Creating multiple virtual disks??
I have a new Dell 2950 with two 145gb SAS HDD's and a Perc 5/i raid controller. I would like to create to virtual drives (Raid1), one 20gb for the operating system and another using the remaining space for data storage. I create the first VD at 20gb then but then cannot select the option to create the second VD. I would like to avoid creating one large VD then splitting it at the OS level if I can avoid it. Any ideas where I am going wrong, is this possible with the Perc 5/i? I have setup many Dell Servers with varying Raid controllers and never ran into this issue before....
Replies greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rick
