Re: how to use HP smart array B110i RAID controller (software)

Hi,

as you know, the B110i RAID is a software raid and you will not be able to create a raid 1 between the 2nd and 3rd disk.

As it seems to me that buying a "true" raid controller is not an option (and so also buying some software is not an option),  I think that you can try to leverage GhettoVCB script (http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760) to backup your VM from disk 2 to disk 3: depending on the size of your VM you can have more frequent backups (hourly backup for example).

This is not a true fault tolerance or ha settings, think of it as a kind of "smart backup": If/when a disk fail, you can start the VM from the other disk.
