RE: adding disks

The increase in activity is a good thought I had not considered. The
main reason we are adding these is to accommodate test and research data
that needs to be retained and accessible on the system. What about
assigning these new disks to a new ASP that will only be used for this
type of data, thus not impacting production data performance?

Any problems with putting some of these new disks in the system unit and
others in the expansion units?

A word of caution: Since these disk are twice the size, they will get
twice the activity. With them being the same speed as the other drives
in your system, this could cause performance issues based on your
current disk work load. Other than that, it is do able. I would
however, remove 5 of the older 35 GB drives before you fill up the
space, leaving room to add another 5 70GB drives. I would continue
this
pattern until all are at 70GB. This is of course if you don't have the
performance issues I mentioned earlier.

We have a 520 at v5r3. We have 27 - 35gb (4326) disk units currently
installed, using raid. Looking at installing 5 new 70gb (4327) units,
into empty slots - not replacing any of the 35gb drives. I realize I
will need to put them in a new raid set because of the size difference.
All will be used in same ASP. Am I missing anything else? Does it sound
logical what I am attempting?
