Help With RAID 5 Virtual Disk
Sorry about the blank post!
I am trying to setup my new Dell PowerEdge server. Here are the specs.
Dell PowerEdge 2950
4GB RAM
6x750GB SATA hard drives
Windows Server 2003 Standard
I want to setup the server using RAID 5 with one 15GB system partition and a storage partition using the remaining space. I have tried using the Dell server setup disk and the largest RAID virtual disk it will let me create is 1TB. I would like to have one virtual disk using all of the hard disk space ~3.7TB, if possible. So I started over and went into the onboard RAID configuration and created one virtual disk using all available disk space. I went back into the server setup utility and skipped the RAID configuration and setup the rest of my settings, but when it was at the installing operating system, there was an "Unknown error has occurred" message.
Is 1TB the largest virtual disk size? Could someone help me out? Thanks.
