Hi, 

 

I have three SAS disks and I wish to set RAID 5 and have two partitions, one for the System and one for Data. Currently I am doing the following:

 

In Array Configuration Utility:

 

1. I create one array with the three disks

2. The SAS array is created.

3.  When the array is created, I then create the first logical drive. This is my C: System drive in Windows.

4. Then within the same array I create a second logical drive. This will then be my D: drive in Windows.

I then run HP Intelligent Provisioning and let it install Windows for me... This works but I'm not sure it's the best way. Am I doing something wrong?
