Glenn,
Not sure QoS is the right terminology. QoS implies
some kind of service or performance guarantee, even NetApp disavows any
guarantees with Flexshare. But it is cool...
regards,
Bill
Blake,
Flexshare - is this the 'guardrail' technology that
enables QoS of
particular datasets? Or is that 'future' at the moment?

Re: Data Ontap 7.2
We are testing it as well. FlexShare looks to be some
killer
technology we are excited to look at. But the mutliproc changes I
think are key to this release. Which almost makes me want to wait
until
7.2.2 or 7.2.3 before thinking about it seriously. Because if
it's good now,
wait until they perfect it!
