we have several DELL R900 with PERC 6/E adapter in it. R900 using Redhat Linux. Each R900 have two PERC 6/E adapter and at least two MD1000 connect to it.
Configuration 1:
PERC 6/E -- two MD1000
PERC 6/E -- empty
Configuration 2:
PERC 6/E -- MD1000
PERC 6/E -- MD1000
Normally first MD1000 for database and second MD1000 for nightly backup. My co-worker told me there is NO difference on performance or battery life on botn configurations.
I would like listen to your opinion on follwoing:
1. which configuration have better performance?
2. put two MD1000 on same PERC 6/E adapter will cause battery life shorter?
3. other comment?
Thanks.
