I currently have 4 internal drives in my WHS microserver setup as a Snapshot Raid. And that is working fine, with an external drive I connect for the PPU.
I have recently added a 5 Bay external enclosure for expansion with 1 Drive in it. I now wish to add a second drive to it and just set it up as Storage Pooling for the time being. However when I try to add a new configuration, Cruise Control is greyed out, I can only select Expert, which is ok, but then I can only select Snapshot, Storage Pool is greyed out.
I do not have any drive I can use for a PPU at this time and all the options for Snapshot seem to require at least 1.
1) Why would I not be able to create a Storage Pool?
2) Is there any way to create a Snapshot raid without a PPU (I don't need the redundancy for now)
thanks
