[HECnet] VMS Bound Volume Sets...

Bind sets are hell to restore. Which is probably why Hoff is against them. A RAID controller is a good idea: form shadow sets and stripe them. The Mylex 960 series can handdle RAID volumes up to 36 GB (IIRC). So you'd need another controller. Not all controllers are supported b VMS, e.g.: kZPCC. ------Origineel bericht------ Van: MG Afzender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Beantwoorden: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: Re: [HECnet] VMS Bound Volume Sets...

I want 70GBs worth of data to appear in one VMS device, but only have 36GB drives, so would like to span data across two disks and form a logical drive. Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts - Hoff seemed to think it was a bad thing to try/do. What about using a hardware RAID controller, a la Smart Array? (If it is an AlphaServer or Integrity system of course, in this case.) I use an SA6400 successfully to do that, in one of my rx2600s. - MG Verzonden vanaf mijn draadloze BlackBerry -toestel
