If you have an SG5660 with 60 drives, you can change the volume configuration from its default and recommended setting, Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP), to RAID6. You can only change the mode before deploying the StorageGRID appliance Storage Node.
Before you begin
- You have an SG5660. The SG5612 does not support RAID6. If you have an SG5612, you must use DDP mode.
Attention: If any volumes have already been configured or if StorageGRID was previously installed, changing the RAID mode causes the volumes to be removed and replaced. Any data on those volumes will be lost.
