We have inherited two 2100s, five external cabinets (BA360-KB, 7 slots
apiece), and an assortment of 2G, 4G, and 9G disks. These disks were put
in any old slot for shipping; they are not in a known working
configuration.
We would like to combine 9G and 2G disks in the same cabinet. Will this
work?
We are planning to RAID each cabinet with the RAID 200 software.
we're aware that the RAID 200 software has an upper limit of 32G for the
useable disk space on RAID-5, so we weren't planning on putting any more
than four 9G disks in a RAID-5 group (1 9G parity + 3 9G = 27G useable).
Should we put the 2G disks that're in the same shelf with 9G disks in
their own RAID group?
