Re: How long to move a disk from one ASP to another

When you do the remove, the system moves the data from those disk arms
being removed to the remainder of that ASP.  How long it takes depends on
the speed of the disk, the speed of the system, and how full the disks
being removed are.  It's reasonable to expect anywhere from 30 minutes to 2
hours.  Moving multiple units takes a bit longer, but it's not cumulative.

The Backup and Recovery Manual has a section (8.2.4) that describes how to
move
a disk from one ASP to another using DST.  The process looks pretty
straightforward.  One of the bullet points says "The system may take a long
time
to move the unit........" but it gives no indication of what "a long time"
is.

Has anyone done this?  Are we talking 5 minutes or 5 hours?

I need to reconfigure several disks.  Some are 4GB, others are 8 GB and
they are
running about 50% of capacity.
