RE: ASP2 questions

Well you have to put a library or IFS UDF into the ASP.  By default,
data is not spread across ASP's.  I would create a library in ASP 2 for
your journal receivers and move all of your journal receivers to that
library.  Then if you have development libraries, you can move them to
the new ASP as well.  Generally you create new libraries specifying the
ASP as 2 and copy the data from the old libraries to the new libraries.
Once the data is copied, you can delete the old libraries and rename the
new ones the same as the old ones.  Data does not automagically move to
new ASP's.  The are designed to keep data separate for recovery or
performance or both.

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.
