Hey everyone we just got a new 2650 in and we are working on setting it up. We will have a 2 node cluster and on one node we are wanting to assign an all ssd flash aggregate to host our VMware environment on NFS and on the other node we will host NFS, iscsi, and cifs on sas drives with a SSD flash pool assigned to it.
Here comes our problem. When we initialize the 2650 it's taking 10 sas drives for node 1's root volume using ADP. All that space will be wasted because we have no intentions of using spinning aggregates on node 1. We really want to assign 4 sas drives and avoid eating 6 drives. What's the best way to go about this? I know there is a way to move root aggregates but we tried the 9.0 method and it doesn't seem to work correctly. My idea was turn off all shelves and leave only 8 drives left plugged in and reset everything with option 4. Theoretically it would take 4 drives for node 1 and 4 drives 4 node 2 and I would be where I want to be. Anyone see anything wrong with this? Should it be 95% full even after initial setup?
I called support and they told me they can't help since it's a new setup and techinically this is a new setup and we would have to get professional services even though in the guides on moving root volumes they say to work with support if you don't go with their built in setup
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
