I bought several SAS drives.
Model: Seagate ST14000NM0001
These physical drives are separated into 2 logical units of 7TB each.
I want to create a "spanned volume" on windows that combines these 2 units.
How can I ensure I'm matching the units of the same drive?
In Disk Management, when opening up the properties of a disk, I see a Bus Number, Target Id, and LUN.
Here are each of them:
Disk 0: Bus Number 0, Target Id 10, LUN 0
Disk 1: Bus Number 0, Target Id 10, LUN 1
Disk 2: Bus Number 0, Target Id 12, LUN 0
Disk 3: Bus Number 0, Target Id 12, LUN 1
Disk 4: Bus Number 0, Target Id 13, LUN 0
Disk 5: Bus Number 0, Target Id 13, LUN 1
Disk 6: Bus Number 0, Target Id 14, LUN 0
Disk7: Bus Number 0, Target Id 14, LUN 1
It appears that Target Id represents each physical disk, and LUN represents each logical unit.
So to match logical units of the same drive, I look for matching Target Ids.
Is this definitely the correct way to match them?
The reason I ask this is because I have a hot-swappable plane that connects each SAS drive using two SATA connectors.
I'd like to make certain I'm not accidentally pairing by some arbitrary SATA connection.
Help greatly appreciated!
PS: The hot-swap plane came bundled with a SilverStone DS380 case.
