Thanks for your reply. I've begun to implement this and for some reason it says available space is zero when trying to create a 2+1 or 3+1 RAID5 cpg. I've tried it against all three SSD sizes and even with availability set to magazine. It's only letting me create RAID1 with 2, 3, or 4 data. I don't get it. I kicked off a tunesys but given how many disks I've moved around it's going to take a month.
The express layout verbiage from HPE suggests one SSD per shelf is sufficient and can be shared across both nodes. With that in mind i wanted to try putting the SLC in slot 0 across shelves 0-7 and see what happens. If it works and checkhealth is happy I'll repeat the process for the MLC disk. That layout would be much uglier...
(TLC is the 920GB disk - it's actually MLC and I need to fix the spreadsheet)
