SCv2020 Snapshot question
Hello.
We have a new SCv2020 with 24x 1.2TB 10K drives. I plan on using the balanced storage profile (write to RAID10-DM and convert to RAID6 over time), and creating several LUNs to map to our ESXi hosts.
In storage manager I don't see any place to modify the snapshot behavior. I was hoping to only keep a day or two of snapshots to not use up a lot of extra space. I have the data progression set to run at 11PM every night (i'm guessing this is what converts the RAID10 data to RAID6).
Also, how long does it generally take the data to progress down to RAID6? We will be P2V'ng about 10TB worth of physical servers onto the storage within a week of it being installed.
No Events found!

You should see the option to create snapshot profiles on the storage tab. You can setup the schedule here and when you create a volume it will let you select the Snapshot profile you want to apply to the volume. If you've already created the volumes you can edit the profile which applies by selecting the volume and using the Set Snapshot Profile link.
You can specify on the volumes to bypass the Raid10 storage and go directly to the Raid6 if you would like, i'm not sure on the timing for data progression.
This is based on an sc2080 using the latest release of dell storage manager.
