    Hi,

    I have IBM Flashsystem 5000 (5015) with 5 NLSAS drives of 10TB capacity. Software version is 8.4.0.2. How can I create any raid array on these drives?

    regards,

    for DRaid6 you must have 6 drives (3+P+Q+S)

    you can only define draid1 but if you are using draid1 with 8TB or bigger nlsas drives system requires 2 spares (rebuild areas) to protect data. It's better to find 6th drive and choose draid6
