Starting with the internal one in DL380R1 and up to G4. Performance of 6i in freebsd is better than 5i, but worse than if you insert a external card (6402/6404). I mostly use the internal SA as systemdisk only on systems with a lot of disk IO. A single write is OK, but multiple rw's are not its best side. I had some performance data a year ago regarding the different setups, but Im afraid they are long gone now. I have not have any problems with a recover. But it takes time. 18GB ~15-20 mins on 5i. dunno on 6i... I have yet to get a failure on those servers. http://people.freebsd.org/~jcagle/ is available. But it screams to the console and logs when something occurs, so there are other options to report an error. /Bjorn On Mon, 27 Feb 2006, Steven Hartland wrote: > Has anyone had any dealings with the HP Smart Array 6i? > > Specifically looking for info on: > * Performance > * Disk failure recover > * Available tools for monitoring etc. > > Regards > Steve > > > ================================================ > This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
