EqualLogic ps6110 mix disk configuration advise
Hi all.
I have an equalLogic PS6110 currently configured with 14x 400gb SSD in raid 10 configuration.
We need more storage capacity but we are not currently in a position to buy more SSD HDD.
W e are looking at filling up the rest of the storage array with 10x 600gb 10k sas
Could anyone please tell me if this possible?
I saw in the documentation that we can mix 7 SSDs and the rest HDDs.
If I
have to stick to that rule, do I first replace the existing 7SDD with the 10k HDD one by one waiting
for it to resilver and then add the rest?
How does it work?
Also, will i need to change the raid to raid6 Accelerated?
Thank you all in advance

Hello,
Just adding more 10K drives wouldn't work. It's only the 7x SSDs + spinning drives that are supported and you would have to reset the array to make that configuration change.
Why don't you change to RAID6 instead? That would give you more space and you can do that without resetting the array. At tje CLI GrpName>member select MEMBERNAME raid-policy raid6
Regards,
Don
