Appears the best way to set up our new MSA 2040 is with virtual disks.
I can set up one virtual pool, split it to 2 vdisks, each of which has one LUN??
Then when we want to add more storage disks we add the disks to the virtual pool and then we either increase the vdisk sizes or make a new vdisk??
Right now we have all SAS disks in it and if we put more nearline/slower disks to be the archive tier, do the additional disks become part of the current virtual pool?? part of a new pool?? or do we just add the newer disks to the vdisks??
Thank you, Tom
P.S. The manual would be a LOT better if it had examples. And I've been trying for several days to log into HP support so I can ask support but the site never responds, therefore I can't log in...
