I have a Dell R710 with the following drive configuration. CacheCade and RAID arrays are setup on a H700.
Anyway, I am unsure of the best way to set this up. Am I better off just creating a new VG and LV for the RAID 10 array or removing the data LV and recreating it with the RAID 10 array?
Also, once I start using the RAID 10 array for VM storage, what is the best way to utilize the RAID 1 array? Should I give all the extra space to root for backups and ISO storage?
I am strongly considering just getting another two 600Gb SAS drives to replace the 146Gb drives and putting everything on a RAID 10 array, but I feel that money could be better spent on more RAM or drives for my NAS.
Any tips, suggestions, and/or advice would be greatly appreciated!
