Hi,
I have checked NetApp HWU for a FAS 8300 and system cache limits.
Ok, so far, max flash-pool is 72 TB, which is a way more than I want to use, but I haven't seen usable SSDs greater than 3.8 TB.
Is that really true, that I can't use a 7.6 TB or 15.3 TB SSD for flash-pool?
It would be nice, if someone has here a deeper understanding than I have about this and can give me here some clarifications.
May I ask a second question? Is flash-pool still the way to go for speeding up NL-SAS aggregates? I had a look on fabric-pool tiering, but it seems like, that this only works to S3 storage, which we don't have. We have plenty of NL-SAS storage and also of SSDs and it would be great to have a tiering between them or at least use them for caching.
Best regards, Florian
