Hi,

I have 2 3ware RAID controller cards in my Linux box running SuSE 9.2.
Both the RAID cards are 8000 series, one is a 2-port card with one drive
connected to it and the other is an 8-port card with 8 drives.

I have configured the 8-port card to RAID Level 10. Now I want to use
the drive on the 2-port card as my hot spare for the RAID on 8-port card.

I want to know if this cofiguration is possible.

thanks

Amrik
