Question How to create RAID 10 with LSI HostRaid 2008 RAID Card

[michaelbs]

I've got a Quanta Stratos server with an LSI HostRaid 2008 controller. I've got 24 SAS drives in it. No matter what I do I cannot get configure RAID 10 across all 24 drives. I've no experience with LSI controllers, I've only ever used PERC and I've always been able to generate volumes across all the drives in the server.

I've tried to create two separate RAID 10 volumes. I can create one with 10 drives, but when I try to create the second, I can only select 5.

Anything to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Which one do you have* and do you really want to make a 24 drive raid0 array?

* I ask because as far as I know, there aren't any 2008 controller with 24 ports
