NOTE:
All drives within a RAID array should be of the same type, capacity and rotation speed.
Up to two kinds of drives can be mixed in one system
For SAS and SATA hard drive mix configuration, they must be installed in separate drive groups with
multiple of two drives.
A large-capacity RAID array configuration requires long-time rebuilding when to recover from the
failure. In order to improve the reliability, RAID 6 or RAID 60 cofiguration, which supports two hard
drives failures, is recommended as the redundancy becomes invalid during the system recovery.
For VMware ESXi 5.x installation, to download the CIM provider is required.
For VMware ESXi 5.x systems, monitoring the status of a RAID array with NEC ESMPRO is not
supported.
