PowerMax Upgrades and Migrations

A small financial company has a PowerMax 2500 system with 3.84 TB drives configured as RAID 6 (12+2) across 48 drives. Maximum cache is configured on two node pairs.

They require a capacity upgrade and want to use 15 TB drives in a RAID 5 (8+1) configuration. What is the minimum number of drives that must be configured?

  • A 9
  • B 2
  • C 10
  • D 1
Explanation

PowerMax 2500 Flexible RAID allows non-disruptive capacity expansions as small as one drive. RAID protection is applied flexibly across the array, so adding capacity does not require configuring a complete nine-drive RAID 5 (8+1) group.
