FAST VP and Striped Meta Expansion
Our environment is all virtually provisioned. All metadevices are striped because
we replicate almost everything.
We recently upgraded to 5875.198.148
and running SE 7.3.0.1 and have FAST VP moving data.
I ran a test to expand a striped meta using a thin BCV to protect the data
and it worked just as advertised.
This device, however, was bound and completely allocated to the SATA pool.
My question is if I have a striped metadevice and need to expand it and
it is under FAST VP control, which means it is spreading extents over
multiple pools is that supported?
Is so, is it recommended that the device be pinned before doing the expansion?
Appreciate any thoughts...
Chris

When you expand a tdev, the meta member are not bound to the pool and during the expansion it is bound to the original pool. No pinning required.
