What Are The Thin Pools Recommendations When You Are Adding Data Devices?

Answer»
  • Only data devices may be placed in a THIN pool. 
  • The data devices must all have the same emulation. 
  • The data devices must all have the same protection type. 
  • It is recommended that data devices in a pool all reside on drives that have the same rotational speed. 
  • The data devices in the pool should generally be spread across as many DAs and drives of a given speed as possible. 
  • The devices should be evenly spread across the DAs and drives. 
  • The wide striping provided by Virtual Provisioning will spread thin devices evenly across the data devices. The storage administrator must ensure that the data devices are evenly spread across the back end. 
  • It is recommended that all data devices in a pool are of the same size. USING different size devices could result in uneven data distribution. 
  • The data device sizes should be as LARGE as possible to minimize the number of devices required to ENCOMPASS the desired overall pool capacity.
