Yes, it's the built in EQ snapshot scheduler. These are MS terminal server data volumes. I'm backing up nightly to a deduplication device, so the snapshots are mainly for quick recovery in case a server crashes. It was also originally for faster restore than tape for retrieving individual backup files because we didn't have dedup when I created the schedules. Since I can retrieve backup files from dedup a lot faster now, I'll probably change the schedule to only keep a few snapshots.
We're in the process of getting a 6210xs, so I'll be joining it to the 6000. I imagine the 6210 uses the same HIT/ME software, eh? Or is there something different for the hybrid arrays?

Yup. Would it do any good to delete the schedule and collection, and then recreate?

I'm at 7.0.9. I'll whack the collection schedules and create individual to see if that helps.
Thanks.

2TB drives on the 6000. We still have a couple of years warranty on it, so we'll join the 6210 to it.

Dont place your 6210xs together with a 6000e into the same pool. The capacity based LB would place most of the data on the 6000e.

Thanks, Joerg. We'll put in separate pools.

OK, thanks. We have raid6 on the 6000, too. I'll put the 2 units in separate pools and follow your other recommendations.
