Hello,
I am new to NetApp and I would like to kindly ask you to give me some hints or recommendations about the initial configuration of aggregates on my System.
I have a FAS2240 and a disk shelf. the Fas has 24x2 TB drives, the disk shelf has 24x1TB drives. I am running Version 8.1 of the Software in 7-Mode.
Since data security is not so much an issue in my case, my goal is to configure maximum space with medium data security. So my idea is to configure the system as follows:
- 1 64 Bit aggregate with all disks in it (23x2TB and 23x1 TB, 48 disks in total), except one spare disk of each type
- 4 RAID4 Groups
- rg0: 18 data disks 2 TB, 1 parity drive
- rg1: 3 data disks 2 TB, 1 parity drive
- rg2: 18 data disks 1 TB, 1 parity drive
- rg3: 3 data disk 1 TB, 1 parity drive
Does this make sense?
Thank you for your help,
Willi
