What is best style to setup MSA1510i iSCSI for W2k3 and Linux DB servers?

Assuming one shelf of 14 drives (12 busy, 2 spare). Will use RAID 1+0 for performance and facts protection.



If two databases are going to be fairly beefy with mixed read and writes, is creating two pools of 6 drives better than one pool of 12 drives?

I fully understand your interview, but there are abundantly of variables to this like the foray controller and drive specs. I would get beside the manufacturer for that one and not even try to answer. My guess (only a guess) is the single pool will be easier to do paperwork and direct traffic to/from, but if you have a LOT of read/writes this piece may be its own downfall.



Ask the manufacturer...
