They will be Stack to form a logical storage pool (all stored in the same location).
As far as I know, when you create a RAID group, it is done on a “per box” basis. So a box It may be Raid 50, the other is Raid 10, etc.
My question is, should I set one box as the “performance” box or Raid 10, and the other box as the “standard” or Raid50? How do people configure their EQL array in the real world?
We There are some PS6010XVs, we have them call. The current active (write a lot of) data runs on RAID10 15k, the report content goes to RAID6 15k, and the archive content goes to RAID6 on 7.5k SATA disks.
For example, tomorrow is the end of the fiscal year. Therefore, tomorrow the new FY11-12 database will be online on the RAID10 array (well, it is already online, but it will be in production), and FY10-11 will be transferred to be used for EOFY reporting RAID6 data. All reports and invoices generated (approximately 150,000 PDF invoices will be generated in the next 48 hours, not to mention tax reports, pension summaries, and all the interesting things that happened at the end of the fiscal year) directly to the archive Storage.
Dell has very good documentation on recommended configurations, from software and RAID settings to how to set up switches and cabling. I remember reading them from 7:30 in the morning to around 10:30 in the evening Things, plan a new SAN deployment. I suggest you do the same, especially such a huge cash outlay investment.
We are considering buying 4 EqualLogic PS6510X SAN( Sumo box). Each has 48 x 600GB 10k SAS drives.

It actually depends on your requirements.
We have some PS6010XV, we have them to call. Current activity (Writing a large amount of) data runs on RAID10 15k, report content goes to RAID6 15k, archive content goes to RAID6 on 7.5k SATA disk.
