I'm having great difficulty in understanding the new MSA 2050 disk and snapshot setup.
We have fully populated with 22 1.8TB SAS drives in addition to the two SSDs. I want two pools in Raid10 and set this up as 1-12 in pool a (SSDs as performance), and 13-24 in pool b (for archive data). I was unable to enable snapshots after creating an 8TB volume on each pool. What I noticed was if I created a smaller volume I was able to create a snapshot, but then the "enable overcommit" box became checked and greyed out!
Can someone please assist in helping me understand what has change between the 2040 and 2050 to stop me creating a thick disk and having snapshots? The issue we have is that someone filled the drive initially and stopped VMware, all we want is two thick volumes, and one or two snapshots on the SAN.
Thanks!
