RAID Level 10 Virtual Disk Creation With Uneven Span
Based on the minimum (and even) number of physical disks selection the firmware on the PERC 9 hardware controller recommends the preferred span layout.
NOTE: RAID Level 10 virtual disk creation command from Storage Management CLI does not support optional parameter [spanlength=<n>] on PERC 9 hardware controllers.- The Advanced Wizard does not provide the option to select span length for RAID Level 10 virtual disk creation on PERC 9 hardware controllers.
The span layout for RAID Level 10 virtual disk created from the Express Wizard on PERC 9 hardware controllers uses the span layout as recommended by the firmware of the PERC 9 hardware controller.
NOTE: Storage Management uses the PERC 9 hardware controller-firmware suggested span layout for RAID Level 10 virtual disk creation.The PERC 9 hardware controller firmware suggested span layout is same for the same set of physical disks.
Intelligent Mirroring feature is supported on PERC 9 hardware controllers.
When you create a virtual disk using the Advanced Wizard on PERC 9 hardware controllers the span layout information under Selected Physical Disks will not be displayed.
Sliced RAID Level 10 virtual disk creation on PERC 9 hardware controllers support uneven span.
Grouping of selected physical disks for RAID Level 10 virtual disk through the Advanced Wizard is not supported on PERC 9 hardware controllers.
When you import a foreign configuration from hardware controllers prior to PERC 9 hardware controllers to PERC 9 hardware controllers, the span layout for RAID Level 10 virtual disk remains the same.
When you import a foreign configuration for RAID Level 10 virtual disks from PERC 9 hardware controllers to other PERC 9 hardware controllers the span layout does not change.
NOTE: Importing a foreign configuration (other than RAID Level 10 virtual disks) from PERC 9 hardware controllers to hardware controllers prior to PERC 9 is not supported.
