Im looking at building a SAS network server for serving luns via dedicated iSCSI network, and I need some advice on Raid controller cards.
Specifically, im having difficulty in locating controllers and comparing feature sets.
My goals are:
1) up to 64-drive capacity, using SAS expanders
2) Fully automatic Global Hot Spare drives.
3) Raid 10/Raid 50 support
4) Snapshot/Clone technology
5) Lun migration from one raid group to another raid group
6) Redundant controller cards, and/or multipathing is a nice-to-have feature.
If anyone knows where I can get help identifying which cards are suitable, I would appreciate any info. Thanks.
