Posted by Mr. Sergey Maznichenko on 2 March 2012 at 15:26 Hello. Can you explain: Why block of text has disappeared from the new version of this guide? I mean this block: "Note: Thin-provisioned volumes require additional I/O operation to read and writemetadata to the internal disks or to the back-end storage which will also add additionalload to the IBM Storwize V7000 nodes. We therefore do not recommend the use of thesevolumes for high performance applications, or any workload with a high write I/Ocomponent." |
Posted by Jon Tate on 3 March 2012 at 4:57 More than happy to clear that up. It is subject to revision at any time and this text might have given some people the wrong impression, we like to clear things like that up as soon as possible. You raise a good point that people should always ensure that they have the most current version. A great example of the power of the Storwize V7000 by ESG can be found here: http://www.enterprisestrategygroup.com/2011/02/ibm-storwize-v7000-real-world-mixed-workload-performance-in-vmware-environments/ |
Posted by Mr. Ed Chaves on 26 September 2012 at 11:53 Please clarify conflicting statements: Page 438: Usage of Remote Copy target volumes as Remote Copy source volumes is not allowed. A FlashCopy target volume can be used as Remote Copy source volume and also as a Remote Copy target volume. Page 445: You can use Remote Copy target volumes as Remote Copy source volumes. A FlashCopy target volume can be used as Remote Copy source volume, as of Version 6.2.0. There are additional restrictions outlined in Table 11-5 on page 447. |
