As mentioned in the RCLSTG thread, we'll be adding towers of "new" (slightly less obsolete) disk technology to an ASP and retiring the original disks by removing them from the ASP and letting the system pump the data to the new disks. We're talking about around 800 GB on 116 existing disks - RAID5 configured 8 GB 6713's. We'll be adding three 5065 cabinets with 135 disk - 17.5 GB 4318's. The system is the aforementioned 740 12-way brontosaurus with the older CPU's. Has anyone undertaken a move of this magnitude? I have no idea how long the DST will take to move the data. I wouldn't be surprised if it took seven hours or seven days. If anyone has any similar experiences that I could scale up or down to use as a basis it would be very helpful. No one locally among the CE's and BP's had anything to offer, and the support center wouldn't go out on a limb. At the moment we're planning to take on 16 or 24 of the disk in one shot and try to use it to extrapolate for the rest. If it doesn't look like we can finish in our weekend processing time frame we may have to do it in chunks over the next few weekends. Much thanks... -Jim James P.
