Hi there, we need to setup a MCCIP with 4 nodes (C60) with 24 internal disks (15TB).
If we use Fusion, it will create 4 mirrored aggregates of 56TB each...
But wouldn't it be possible to just create two mirrored aggregates, one on each node... my guess would be two aggregates of 124TB each... of cause you would have two nodes which are just "standby" nodes... But is it adviable? 😉 Then main reason is that with four smaller aggregates you would end up with more "wasted" space than with just two... because you don't want to max them out...

For parallelization it is better to go with more active nodes, especially with FlexGroups. But sure, if you want to you can go with 2 Aggregates, but I don't think you can get more capacity because of the rule that no disk may contain partitions that belong to different clusters

We just had a meeting with the customer, and we are going for the default setup... I wasn't aware that it might not have saved us any space... I guess you "could" force assignment of partitions, but then you are also asking for trouble... 🙂 So now begins the task of migrating from a 2 node HA system with two aggregates to four.... which will be interresting when you are cutting it a bit close... Lets see how much better compresion the C60 can do 😉
