All,
FYI, this took place 7 years ago. I'm writing a summary about a client's experience and I'm looking for information on disk leveling processes in ONTAP 7 & 7-mode, specifically what on the back end levels out the disks after more shelves are added. They added 1 shelf with 24 disks to an existing 2 shelves with 48 disks and the system was never leveled out, causing a performance imbalance.
Also I'm looking for a document or white paper on basic RAID theory about how an array (any array) works. I need to be able to cite it for another paper I'm writing. I attended a talk on this subject at Insight around 10 years ago, back when it was still at the MGM Grand. I believe it was the year the customer appreciation night was at Cirque du Soleil.
Thanks!
