metadata stored on EVA?

Im trying to find documentation that states where the metadata of an EVA resides. Is there such a thing? I know the metadata resides in the default disk group, but is it spread out all the drives in the disk group or just the first 8?

TIA,

Todd

Re: metadata stored on EVA?

Just to give you an idea.default disk group has 5 drives which store the metadata.When you create a new disk group it reduces to 4 and 1 on new disk group and so on..

No documents as it's all confidential information.

It selects automatically not the first few drives.

If you are a partner then log in to SAW to get more information.

It looks like this may be outdated a bit, but thank you. I did see this post already. Im just trying to see if there is official documentation that states where it resides.

Hello Todd,

the quorum disk information is not outdated, quorum disks are still used in the lastest EVAs. So you can safly take this information.

You can do some nasty tricks with the quorum disks, for example some kind of "brain transplantation". If an EVA found two different configurations on the quorum disks, it picks the configuration from those disks, that are in superior number. This can happen if you put quorum disks from another EVA to you system.

@ rampy

Confidential? Mmmhh... everybody who takes a AIS training is getting this information. ;)

Rampy,

How do I request access to SAW? I am a partner. Can you not get to that through the partner portal?

Ooops Rampy and I jumped together.

The link is down as most of the HP Partner portal links. Please try again later (in few hours or days) and you should be able to get in there.

Good luck pal.
