Meta device creation from Standard online

Can ECC allow the creation of a meta from a 50GB standard RAID5 device(mapped, masked and online) and two additional 50GB devices(unmapped, masked and offline).

My understanding is that you can't create a Meta from mapped devices at all. I haven't tried it, but it makes sense, since there are things Enginuity has to do on the backend when you map a meta.

You shoudl be able to try this out though with a different set of devs. Just pick one mapped as a Meta head and see what happens.

I thought so, but I'm in the process of getting ready to move to another location and most of my documentation is not at hand.

Thanks for the confirmation dynamox. If it can't be done CLI it can't be done in ECC.

i know for a fact you can't do it from symcli, device has to be unmapped.
