Re: ASP2 questions

If you want the new disk dirves to be used for your current configuration, then 
add them to ASP1.
  The system will automaticaly rebalance them over time, or you can manualy do 
it using the STRASPBAL command.
  Disk dirves in separate ASP's can not share data between them.
  In order to have the system place objects in secondary ASPS, you must 
explicitly specify the ASP number on the CRTxxx command.

  Hi all,

I just added some 17G drives to a 520 with all 35G drives in it. The drives
added ok, and I set them up in ASP 2 in a separate raid set (on a separate
controller), thinking that this would be better since they are of different
sizes. However, the disk usage on these drives still shows 0% used. I
thought that the drives being in ASP2 would not be an issue with spreading
the data.



Is there a problem with the way I configured these drives? Could I/should I
have added them to ASP 1? I doubt if I could have added them to the same
raid set, since they are of different size and in the expansion on a
different controller card.



Any advice on this?



Your help is appreciated.
