Are they all the same type of disks?
- Yes 600 GB SAS
Did you want to evenly divide the workloads on both controllers?
- I figured that would be the best but talking with NetApp support they recommended allowing OnTap to assign. The current assignment is based on the auto assign.
Are your controllers capable of handling the majority of your workload on one controller?
- We are going to be using a large portion for virtual disks so maybe I should divide them up a bit. I was hoping that auto assign would handle best practices but understand configuration is really based on usage/situation.
Here is ifconfig -a from the A node. I need to move from the e0a to e1a or e1b
