  • Page 57: Scheduling Defragmentation

    Scheduling defragmentation The following information applies to all models of the HP ProLiant storage server. Defragmentation is the process of analyzing local volumes and consolidating fragmented files and folders so that each occupies a single, contiguous space on the volume. This improves file system performance.

    If you choose host presentation during virtual disk creation, the management agent cannot complete any other task until that virtual disk is created and presented. Therefore, HP recommends that you wait until a virtual disk is created before presenting it to a host.

  • Page 59: Expanding Storage Using The Array Configuration Utility

    An array expansion, logical drive extension, takes about 15 minutes per gigabyte, or considerably longer if the controller does not have a battery-backed cache. While this process is occurring, no other expansion or extension can occur simultaneously on the same controller. HP ProLiant DL100 G2 Storage Server administration guide...

    Figure 14 Expanding a LUN (Smart Array only) NOTE: The Expand Array task is listed only if there is an unassigned physical drive on the controller. The unassigned drive must also have a capacity of no less than that of a drive in an existing array. If these conditions are not fulfilled, install at least one suitable drive on the controller, and then click Refresh.

  • Page 62: Volume Shadow Copies

    TIP: When extending a basic disk, if you receive a message that there is not enough disk space to extend the volume, it is possible to convert to dynamic, provided that there are other dynamic disks with space available and that the storage server is not a node in a cluster. The volume can then be extended over a set of dynamic disks.

  • Page 64: Identifying The Storage Area

    CAUTION: To change the storage volume, shadow copies must be deleted. The existing file change history that is kept on the original storage volume is lost. To avoid this problem, verify that the storage volume that is initially selected is large enough. Converting basic storage disks to dynamic disks When using a basic disk as a storage area for shadow copies and converting the disk into a dynamic disk, it is important to take the following precaution to avoid data loss:...

NOTE: Select servers can be deployed in a clustered as well as a non-clustered configuration. This chapter discusses share setup for a non-clustered deployment.

  • Page 80: Share Considerations

    Share considerations Planning the content, size, and distribution of shares on the storage server can improve performance, manageability, and ease of use. The content of shares should be carefully chosen to avoid two common pitfalls: either having too many shares of a very specific nature, or of having very few shares of a generic nature. For example, shares for general use are easier to set up in the beginning, but can cause problems later.
