Multiple Clariions same Storage Pool for NAS Celerra Gateway ????

Yes, I think so (see the manual)

However I also think that AVM wouldn’t create a file system that spans file systems

When you now create a new fs – do you have to specify the storage system as well as the pool ?

When creating a user-defined pool please make sure that by default it wont stripe like system pools

Newer codes have an option to enable this – on older ones you have to stripe yourself toget comparable performance (put stripes instead of dvols into the pool just like AVM would do)

P.S.: is there a reason that you don’t use the support forum ?

this area is for software developer and doesn’t get much people answering

Are you referring to Slice Pool Volumes by Default Option?

I wasn't aware that this "area" was for software developer.

Hi Damien,

your thread started in the EDN (EMC Developer Network) area - I now moved it into the ESN (EMC Support Forum) Celerra category

I'm currently running 5.6.45.5.

Sounds good will keep that in mind.

when i had two clariions connected to CFS14 (gateway) i always had to specify pool name and storage system.

I understand this is little late to make any comments here - but by default if you are using system pools and if the backend configuration matches for system pools, the second CLARiiON will be added to the same pool name - however, while creating a file system, you have to choose the Pool name and the system on which you are creating the file system.

If no storage system is selected - the AVM decides on which system to use based on the available space and your file system requirement.

However, as Rainer had already mentioned - AVM will not create or extend any file system using multiple backend storage arrays.

Happy to share my 2 cents

Thanks Sandip,
