I'm eagerly awaiting our new FAS2620. It comes with 4 SSD drives and 8x 4TB NL-SAS drives in the controller shelf, and 12x 4TB NL-SAS on an additional shelf.
I intend to run Ontap 9.2. We would like to run active/passive with all 20 NL-SAS drives assigned to one node. With root-data ADP, I was wondering how this works if 4 of the 12 internal first-shelf disks are taken up with SSD drives. Are 8 internal NL-SAS drives enough for active/passive ADP, or will the system allow me to include some of the second shelf in the ADP root-data partitions? If not, does it make sense to move the SSD to the second shelf so the first shelf can be completely populated by 4TB NL-SAS?
Thanks!
