Hi,
I am currently running a 2100 4/200 DU 3.2C with the standard narrow
BA35x shelf and 4 RZ28's. The / (UFS) and /usr (AdvFs) partitions sit
on the first disk and swapping and user partitions on the other 3 disks.
I am in the process of installing a KZPSC-BA controller and another
internal shelf (BA35E-SA Wide) with six RZ29's.
My first problem is with the configuration of the RAID controller and the
migration of all the partitions to the new disks. I would like to run
everything with RAID 5 and have the most space available (20GB). The
way I understand it I can only create one logical drive (RAID 5) per
drive group and label the one BIG logical drive into multiple partitions.
Or can I create 5 logical drives of 4Gb each and still retain 20GB of space?
My second problem is to be able to migrate my root and /usr partitions to
the new drives or partitions without to much problem. Any thoughts on
doing this?
Thanks in advance for all the help. I'll summarize.
