Cisco UCS C22 M3 High-Density SFF Rack-Mount Server
CONFIGURING the SERVER
17
STEP 4 SELECT RAID CONFIGURATION
The RAID controller choices are:
(1) Embedded RAID (on motherboard)\
(2) PCIe RAID controllers
Cisco can provide factory-configured RAID systems depending on the RAID controller chosen and
the number of drives ordered. Factory-configured RAID options are listed with each RAID card
description.
RAID levels 50 and 60 are supported, although they are not available as factory-configured RAID
options.
NOTE: If you do not select a PCIe RAID controller or one of the embedded RAID
upgrade options, you will have an embedded SATA-only RAID controller that supports
up to four SATA-only drives (RAID 0, 1, 10)
NOTE: When creating a RAID volume, follow these guidelines:
■ Use the same capacity for each drive in the volume
■ Use either all SAS drives or all SATA drives
■ Use either all HDDs or all SSDs
NOTE: The number of RAID groups (virtual drives) supported per controller is as
follows (note however, that this server can have a maximum of only eight internal
physical drives):
■ LSI MegaRAID SAS 9270CV-8i RAID controller card = 64
■ LSI MegaRAID 9240-8i RAID controller card = 16
■ LSI MegaRAID 9220-8i RAID controller card = 16
■ LSI MegaRAID 9220-4i RAID controller card = 16
NOTE: Embedded RAID is not available with VMWare.
NOTE: The RAID configuration options listed in Table 6 on page 18 are not available
if you choose embedded RAID (in this case, you must configure RAID yourself using
separate software).
