RAID – How to combine 2 controllers in HP DL370 G6 (6 brackets)

By Storage

I have a server DL370 G6, as shown below, I want to install Windows Server 2008 E. We are using it for camera recording. Each slot has 6 2 TB hard drives.

I want to merge them into Raid 1 for C drive and raid 5 for D, where D drive should be 20 TB

I cannot configure multiple Slot 12 TB, so my question is to configure who by adding 2 physical as a virtual

In order to do this, you need an HP SAS expander card. These can be used cheaply or on eBay. This will allow you to use a RAID controller (onboard Smart Array P410i) to accommodate up to 3 drives in the server Cage, and an external SAS tape drive.

I used one in DL370 G6, as described below: Do SAS expanders work transparently with SAS controllers?
