Thank you! Pawel Everything worked out

Thank you! Only I wanted to find out in which mode to configure hard drives. build RAID 0, 5, 10 or directly, in which mode should the controller be set to n310 н710? There is no information in the document.

Unfortunately I do not download this file due to lack of access to technical support. Can you download this file for me?

Hi,

Every physical disk should be configured as a standalone RAID0 VD (see "perccli /c0 add vd type=raid0").

Cheers,

Pawel

Thank you! Let me ask one more question. We have three dell r420 servers in each sfp + card for a 10gb network, two servers with a h710 controller and 8 2.5-inch hard drives each 1Tb. 1Tb * 8 = 8Tb and one server with h310 controller and 4 3.5-inch hard drives each 2Tb. 2Te * 4 = 8 Tb. Is it possible to configure these 3 servers with their disk capacities in the shared store ScaleO? do I expect to use esxi6.5U1 or should the hard disks be the same in all three servers?

Hi,

Yes, you can your servers to create a ScaleIO cluster - from what you are saying it looks like all 3 SDS's will have the same capacity (8TB), the only difference is the number of the physical disks - in general, more disks should give you better performance, so the two servers with H710 controllers might be slightly faster than the 3rd one, but unless you will push the system to its very limits it should be just fine.

Cheers,

Pawel

Thank you! But I still decided to replace the server with 4 disks per server with 8 disks and the H710 controller so that all servers were the same

Hello Pawel! I decided to put four disks in each server, tell me how to increase the number of disks in the future, for example by adding one disk to each server or telling which instruction to read it
