Hi Everyone,

The following is my background (ordering hardware at the moment)

2 UNIT of SANs running Open-E with volume replication through a 10G inter connect link.

May I know what is the raid level would you configure?

Should I add a hotspare?

In case of failure, example if a disk failed; is open-e capable of kicking in the failover?

----

I am planning not to have any hot spare and if any of the active open-e box has a degraded disk, I would like it to failover to its peer unit.

After which I would manually perform the replacement and rebuild of the disk.

What do you think?
