Hi folks,
If I have a 4 node cluster (running 8.2 CDOT) and I want to install 5 shelves of 10k SAS and 5 shelves of 7.2k drives, what would you recommend I do regarding aggregates? Normally on a 2 node cluster, we'd put all the SAS on one node and all the SATA on the other one. In this case, should we ensure that each node has an aggregate and attempt to avoid using the cluster network as much as possible?
The work being done is file shares and NDMP backups, both of which tend to run out of CPU and memory before they redline the backend disks. We want to use the processing of all four nodes, so that means we'll be spreading the LIFs across them all.
Thanks!
