Disk clone on EVA + xcs cod eon EVA6100

inex — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:40:03 GMT

Hi,
Anyone know approximately how long time it will take to do a diskclone on a 400GB disk? (2 seperate diskgroups).
I see that XCS code 6110 is still supported on the EVA6110. Is there really any need to upgrade to the latest code?

It really depends on a lot of factors, the type of disks, the number of disks on the disk group and the I/O load on that moment. Snapshot / snapclone tasks have lower priority than host I/O access.

XCS 6110 is currently inactive and you should update to 6220.

Thanks for answer.
According to HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array compatibility reference from October the 6110 code is still supported.

It's still on the compatibility tables, but you should check the release announcement of a new firmware version to see what happens with the older versions.

Inactive, but still supported...?
A bit confusing.
