One question.
I have EVA 4100 all enclosures with 300Gb FC disks.
Unfortunately we have capacity problem and decided to use 600 Gb FC disks. On my system single level protection - that means that after inserting first disk system will demand 1.2 Tb instead 600 Gb in this time.
So my question is if I have only 1.2 Tb of current free space in RAID0 for Disk Group
which I'm going to expand. Will it be a problem for me? Does system permit me to extend disk group with such free capacity?
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionWhen a reconstuction is necessary and there is "free space" in the disk group (in addition to the protection level), the EVA will first use up that space to keep the protection level as long as possible (at least that is what I have seen).
So you could theoretically do the space management yourself, but it is safer to tell the EVA to do that during normal operation.
