Hi
Just a quickie.
I have 5 members in an old group, they only have 1 controller attached and are on FW 6.0 - Uptime is like 3 years or something crazy so nobody has touched them and they have had no issues for ages. Setup isn't good, nothing to best practice.
Total storage is 60TB over the 5 members, 2 members will leave me with 23TB and enough IOPs to keep the last few remaining VMs running.
I plan to create a tmp pool and move each member into this pool then delete and re-purpose 3 of them, this time setting them up properly.
So procedure is move, wait for data to vacate then delete.
I have a few unknowns ( only 1 controller plugged into a single switch, and also the iscsi timeout settings on the initiators in VMware are set to the default 15 seconds, no MEM , single path.
Will any of these bad configurations affect the background member move/deletes?
IO is low, averaging about 500 IOPS across all 5 members.
Thanks
