Storage Array 2530 - 36 @ 2TB HDD - RAID6

971208Nov 15 2012 — edited Dec 13 2012
Hello!

I have my Array up and running using the CAM software but I have a concern and I have little experience and trouble finding documentation on the issues..

I have a 36 SATA disk 2TB setup, with 3 hot spares. 1x3

My first issue is when creating the Volume/Virtual Disk Etc. It only seems to allow me to use 30 disk drives even though the other 3 are listed as Unassigned.. Is there a limitation to Raid 6 I am unaware of?

My second concern is the initialization time of about 510 Hours.. the job is increasing about 3% per day, does this seem right? The array is not reporting any issues and the firmware was updated.

Again, your support and help is always appreciated.

Regards and Thanks.
