Thx for the advice. I have been reading that section, and looked at the videos. Butmaybe I am over-complicating things... What I can not seem to figure out is if I need a raid controller or not. Due to the reason that I explained above.
Another thing I noticed is the status of my to added RMD drives. In ESXi 5.1 I added 2 drives to my VM by using RDM. The drives show in the XPenolgy > control panel > Info Center > Storage. Disk 4: Virtual disk, Size 16Gb, Status: Normal, Volume 1 // Disk 5: WD41EADS, Disk Size 931 Gb, Status "Not Initialized" // Disk6: WD20EARX, Disk Size 1863 Gb, Status "Not Initialized".
What does this mean? Are disk 5+6 ready for usage or not? I've been reading about how XPenology installes an OS on every drive. Is that a must? Or am I missing something here?
