Migrating RAID 1 volumes to Dual ported disks.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi.

I am currently using SATA drives in a RAID 1 configuration.  I am looking to use SAS drives instead of SATA.  As my first experiment I have plugged my SAS drive into a system and I have noticed that Linux sees the individual ports on the device as separate devices, so I have /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd which are both the same physical device.

So if I have a system with 2 SAS drives I am going to have 4 devices representing the two physical drives.  So my question is how do I create RAID 1 sets for partitions on these types of drive?  

My existing system carves 3 RAID 1 volumes from a pair of drives.  How do I translate this to the dual port SAS devices? 

Thanks Simon.
