No DST has a function for just copying the load source drive. This is a special copy as this is the boot drive. The drives are flagged after the copy so they must be removed and relocated right after the copy and at the powerdown before IMPL. It does not change the data on other drives and the system does not need to be reloaded, no scattering done. If you want you can run a load balance after your are up and running again but not really needed. -- Doug Hart -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces+doug.hart=itt.com@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces+doug.hart=itt.com@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Pat Barber Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 1:47 PM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: Re: load source migration I doubt you can really control where data goes on a "specific" drive since the system does a scatter load. The source load is only "specific" load you can really do to my knowledge. The CE function using DST of "gig-mig" or "pumping" a drive will move data to a specific drive but that can get awfully tricky since it's a disaster recovery method. I believe a unload/load is still the best method. Chris Bipes wrote:
I have just added 4 new drives to my system and built the raid-5 set. Before adding to the ASP I would like to migrate my load source to one
of these new, larger drives. This would be in preparation for replacing the smaller drives with larger faster drives. Is this a DST
function cause I could not see how in SST.
