Re: [Networker] adv_file - bucket of disk or sized partitions
2010-01-14 07:32:30
Our take on this came from a different direction, we wnated to use SAN
attached disk for ADFS and the reccomendation form EMC was to use RAID 3
disk groups this gave us 3 disk groups of ~3TB, they also recommend that
each disk group doesn't have more than 5-6 savestreams at a time so we set
the target sessions to 6. All the groups for ADFS backups can write to any
of 3 disks groups. Not much staging is happenning yet as this was designed
for some anticipated large increases in backups.
