Hi,
I am planning to install CentOS 6.4 on Dell R720 which has hardware raid card and 6 hard disk slots available.
I have planned with the below set up :-
*2 Hard disks configured in RAID 1 for installing OS
*4 Hard disks configured in RAID 10 for data drive.*
Please suggest and recommend if the above approach is correct and let me know if i am missing anything which is crucial to set up a production server. This server will host MySQL DB server.
Is there any particular reason why you want to create two RAIDs? Creating one 6 Disk RAID-10 would give you better random IOPS which is useful for a DB System. You can still create two independent virtual disks in that case or use independent partitions/LVM volumes to separate OS from Data.
Hi Dennis
Thanks for the reply and not sure i understand *"You can still create two independent virtual disks in that case"* Please explain.
