Yes, just configure it as a single large LUN. &nbsp; Your O/S can't tell the difference between a single hard drive and a SCSI, SAS, or Fibre-channel attached logical volume (by design).

Yes. Will the server(s) be HP and have HP SAS HBAs installed?<br />
<br />
We always put two HBAs in for redundancy and enable MPIO. This gives us some good bandwidth to play with.<br />
<br />
I suggest one large array and at least two LUNs. That would allow for each LUN to be bound to one controller to distribute the IO.

Hi<br />
<br />
Yes it's 1x DL380 G7 and has a HBA card in the back, we plan to use as a single hyper v server.<br />
<br />
If I plug 2 SAS cables in (1 from each controller) and plug into the server enabling MPIO is that workable?<br />
<br />
Also in regards to one big LUN, I'm thinking RAID50 instead of RAID5, thoughts?

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
