I am buying a F760 with 35 drives (all 36GB).
As there is limitation of 28 drives per raid group ( i read it NetApp Sysadmin manual), i am thinking of having two raid groups one with 26 and the other with 7 drives. Rest two will be hot spares. But i am open for better configuration.
I would like to know whether i can configure all 33 drives into one raid group - Is that possible? If so what are the disadvantages. (With 33 drives in one raid group, i loose only one drive as a parity drive - this is an advantage).
Can somebody suggest a better configuration ?
Thanks
