All,
 
I have an MSA1500 that I want to partition for an active-active SQL cluster.  Is it better to partition the drives at the MSA level into multiple small arrays, or should I create two arrays (1 for each cluster node) and partition with Disk Manager?  In the end, I need 16 drive letters.  If I go with Disk Manager, I can only have 4 primary partitions so I will have to create an extended partition and use volumes.
 
What say Ye?
