Is there something different with SSDs in RAID?
I am trying to install AC 6.0.9 on a new server - IBM x3200 M3 with BR10il, so I decided to give the Samsung 840 Pro a go as the second RAID1, with a pair of WD as the first RAID1, with intention of putting AC on the Samsungs. Before I decided to go with SSDs, I had the setup working well with 4 WDs in two RAID1s running on the same server.
However, even though the server can recognize each individual drive perfectly fine, I cannot seem to be able to convince the IBM ServerGuide for W2K12 to set up the second RAID1 (it gives a RAID 1 + 1 option, setting up the first two drives as RAID1, and remaining drives ad RAID1). It would set up the first RAID1 fine as Array 1, but giving a mysterious error message "Exceeding the array limit, the maximum is 1%".
I did have trouble finding trays that would support the SSDs physically in the correct spatial relation for the pinouts, so I initially tried ICY DOCKs so they fit perfectly in the bay, but they did not seat the SSDs properly. So I currently plugged the SSDs directly on the backplane of the RAID bracket and supported them on cardboard (gasp). However, each drive seems to work individually fine, just could not RAID them.
