Raid 6 with 2 hot spare

We have an Equallogic PS6000: When configuring for RAID 6 can I chose how many hot spares the array get as part of the configuration?

 

thanks

Hello, 

 Not with a PS6000.  It will only allow one spare in that case.

 Regards,

Don

Dissagree with that. With fw revison 5.04 it alows to use two hotspare disks. BTW Raid6 on PS6000 is actually dual parity (both XOR) and not like recent with XOR and Reed-Solomon parities.
