HP Proliant RAID Settings

April 23rd, 2015, 4:04

I just had an emergency RAID job come in that's an absolute rush, which is why I'm asking (hoping to speed things up a bit).

It's 3 drives which are all fine (server itself just crapped out). Customer thinks it was a RAID 5, however I've tried just about every typical setting and come up empty handed so far. I notice that if I configure the first two drives as a RAID 0 I'm able to see most of the folder structure, but not all the data makes sense. This is making me tend to think that it's likely using a parity delay, which is why I haven't found the correct settings to build it as RAID 5 yet.

Anyone know what (if any) parity delay HP generally uses?

It's a Proliant ML350 (still waiting to hear back from the customer what the controller is).

Thanks guys in advance!

You know what, I think I figured it out. Looks like 16 is the magic number.
