Hi all,
We are currently configuring a FlexArray configuration by connecting
one E5660 (6TB x60)(Santricity 08.25.06) and Five DE 6660(6TB x 60) to
FAS 8040 (ONTAP 8.3.2 P 1) Single Controller (not HA).
In use Snapmirror as DestinationFAS for DR site.
Maximum number of disks per path in FlexArray configuration has reached 360.
And the number of volumes is also close to the upper limit of 255.
Therefore, in order to expand the FlexArray configuration, it is necessary to newly
construct another Path (2nd Path) in order to expand the E-series.
I'm trying to add three E2812 Duplex FC (12 x 8 TB) and DE212C (12 x 8 TB).
At first I was considering at E5760.
However, since it is 90 centimeters long and does not fit in a rack with a depth
of 1 meter, it is a candidate for E2812 and DE212C with short total length.
Question 1.
What is the minimum number of disks when configuring RAID 0 with FlexArray?
What is the maximum number of disks when configuring RAID 0 with FlexArray?
I want to grasp the number of usable disks and design it, but I could not find the information in the following materials.
