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.
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?
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.
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

Hi,
You can find instructions on how to setup Virtual Disks and their properties in ScaleIO Ready Node No AMS Documentation Set:
