Re: Adding disks to a raid set, how long is too long?

Rob,

You implied that these are internal disks not SAN based. So with that I would say that anything over a couple hours is an error. With SAS as you certainly know building the RAID sets is a fair bit faster than it 'twas on SCSI. 600GB Spinnys are a couple of hours so.....

My vote: Too Long!

Around 12:30pm Tuesday July 8 I started adding a couple dozen new ?775?gb
SSD's to a new raid set on a new lpar on a power 8. Didn't take long to
get to 99% done. However it's been sitting at 99% since. It's now 7:30am
on Wednesday July 9. What, nineteen hours later? While working on
another pmr with IBM they acknowledged that the 99% is a joke based on
much smaller drives.
