RE: Creating ASP2 for virtualized disks, should Protect the data in this ASP be selected?

Evan,

The host has only ASP 1, all SSD , protected with Raid5.
The client has ASP1 (all 10k spinny) protected with Raid5, and ASP2, virtual SSD from host, unprotected.

Hi Paul

the way you have described it makes it sound like you are talking about whether or not to protect ASP#2 in the host.

Kirk,

The virtuals are already protected on the host, protecting them on the
client would be double protection.
Why would it be needed?

Let's try this again...

Same rules apply for ASP2 -xx as ASP1. If you were to loose a physical
disk in User ASP and the ASP is not protected then you are going to
loose that ASP and have to restore it. So with No Protection then you
would loose the Virtual drives contained in it. Protect the Physical
Spinning disks but not the Virtuals on the Target.
