Operating tips and information
Reserving adequate free space
To ensure efficient storage system operation, a certain amount of unallocated capacity, or free space,
should be reserved in each disk group. The recommended amount of free space is influenced by your
system configuration. For guidance on how much free space to reserve, see the
HP StorageWorks
Enterprise Virtual Array configuration best practices
white paper. See
Best practices
.
Using FATA disk drives
FATA drives are designed for lower duty cycle applications such as near online data replication for
backup. These drives should not be used as a replacement for EVA's high performance, standard
duty cycle, Fibre Channel drives. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive.
