Virtual Volumes...
2002-09-03 12:02:25
Greetings all. For those of you using virtual volumes, how large do you make
the volumes? When I started doing this, I had the following opinions:
+ The server volumes should be significantly smaller than the remote physical
storage.
It would be a real pain for most of the virtual volumes to be spread over
different tapes; multiple physical mounts for each virtual mount? Ugh.
+ The server volumes should be large enough not to be a huge load.
Each virtual volume is a "file" on the hosting server. For each TB of data,
that's 1000 files if volumes are 1G; actually probably more like 1300, with
reclamation at 50%. You certainly don't want them as small as 100M.
I selected 1GB for my virtual volumes, but am starting to re-think the issue,
maybe going for 10G or so.
Anyone want to share thought processes?
