One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is how the use of FILE or DISK impacts server recovery. If you have to restore your database, you will have to audit all of your DISK volumes. You can avoid auditing FILE or TAPE volumes through the use of REUSEDELAY. ..Paul At 01:52 PM 2/13/2015, Zol

FILE allows deduplication; DISK doesn't. My impression after some experimenting is that FILE wasn't meant to replace DISK; it was solely meant to replace tape device classes. We didn't need to, so those experiments quietly ended. On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 12:30 PM, Zoltan Forray wrote: > WOW - I

WOW - I didn't realize that. Thanks for pointing that out. Won't automatically go to nextstgpool, didn't automatically reclaim? So, what is the advantage/benefit of DEVCLASS=FILE? Sounds like time to go back to DEVCLASS=DISK On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 1:22 PM, Paul Zarnowski wrote: > At 12:12

DEVCLASS=FILE - what am I missing

2015-02-13 Thread Zoltan Forray
Up until recently, I have always used DEVCLASS=DISK for disk storage and always preformatted/allocated the disk volumes into multiple chunks to all for multi-I/O benefits. When I recently stood-up a new server, I decided to try DEVCLASS=FILE for disk-based storage/incoming backups. I thought I un
