Question about Tyan M7902 (m7902tarosodimm) SCSI Controller
I have 2 cable data (channel scsi 1 & 2) and i cant make it raid 10 as ive put each channel with 2 hardrive, does it mean to make raid 10, all hardrive must be within 1 channel cable?
Yes. Unless you're using HP-Ux's LVM or some other Logical Volume Management software package, the controller can only perform mirroring on the same channel. I see no value in running Raid 10... all it does is strip the mirrored data on the 2nd set of disks. It uses the same overhead as mirroring and offers minimal benefit with the potential for more overhead in slowed bandwidth. Make it simple and just mirror the drives with Raid 1.
