RAID in E450

I am deciding what hard drives to order for my e450 and I have a question. It has 2 RAID controllers (X6602A). I'm assuming that if I have a total of 20 drives in this box, that I won't be able to RAID 5 them all together. Instead, I will have 2 groups of 8, and then 4 that are not available for RAID. Is this correct? Thanks for any help!

Regards,

Ryan

I've no practical experience with the X6602A but since its a H/W RAID controller your comments are technically correct. The controllers aren't going to "share" disks between them. To do what you want you would have to do something like configure the controllers to make each individual disk visible on its on LUN. Then use SVM or VxVM to software RAID5 the disks together.
