STEP 4 SELECT RAID CONFIGURATION

NOTE: If you do not select a mezzanine card, a PCIe RAID controller, or one of the embedded RAID upgrade options, you will have an embedded SATA-only RAID controller that supports up to four SATA-only drives (RAID 0, 1, 10)

NOTE: When creating a RAID volume, follow these guidelines:

Use the same capacity for each drive in the volume

Use either all SAS drives or all SATA drives

Use either all HDDs or all SSDs

NOTE: The number of RAID groups (virtual drives) supported per controller is as follows:

Embedded RAID = 8

LSI MegaRAID 9271-8i, or 9271CV-8i RAID controller card = 64

LSI MegaRAID 9285CV-8e, or 9286CV-8e RAID controller card = 64

Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i Mezzanine Card = 16

The RAID controller choices are:

(1) Embedded RAID (on motherboard)

NOTE: The RAID configuration options listed in Table 8 on page 24 are not available if you choose embedded RAID (in this case, you must configure RAID yourself using separate software).

(2)Mezzanine RAID controller cards (not supported in 1-CPU configurations)

(3)PCIe RAID controllers

Cisco can provide factory-configured RAID systems depending on the RAID controller chosen and the number of drives ordered. Factory-configured RAID options are listed with each RAID card description.
