RE: Load Source

I have a drive that is completely empty right now that I would love to move
it to.  I completed the data move from the 2nd 8gb drive to the 17 but it
appears that I cannot even mirror any drive unless all the drives are the
same size (capacity) which means an ASP cannot have different sized drives
and still be able to mirror them.  That doesn't make sense to me at all.

I would still like to move the load source if possible to the 17gb and get
that last 8gb drive out....then all I would have to do is add a second 17gb
drive and I can enable mirroring.

You're not going to be able to ADD the load source drive data to a drive
that already has files/libs and keep them.  The copy drive will fully
replace the target drive with the LS drive even if it is bigger.  This is
all DST work.  I suggest you ask your CE for pointers.  They should be well
versed in the steps.  The last time I did it on a smaller machine it took
forever to get done.  The critical points are which drives you have in the
system when you IMPL.  The system will not like to find two IMPL drives.  I
can't remember the full issues but the old drive on the copy gets flagged
and can't be IMPLed from again.

So, not to difficult.  Just need to hit the right steps.  Get your CE to
help, even if only on the phone.

My apologies for the inadvertent post to the RPG list.

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to move the load source
from one drive to another.  I thought it would be in the backup and recovery
guide but I have not found anything that appears to deal with this
situation.


Here is what I have, a 170 with four drives of which three are currently
configured.  Drives 1 (Load Source drive) and 2 are both 8gb drives with
drive 3 being a 17gb drive.

I started moving the data off of drive 2 last night and its being moved to
drive 3.  I still have enough room on the drive to move the load source over
as well.

Once that has been done, I will be pulling the two 8gb drives and replacing
them with 17's.

Any help would be appreciated.
