75% of all my deployments are Single Tier ones.....  Compellents with "SSD Only" but not called a All Flash Array. There is no "need" to use a Snapshot profile but..  the snapshot we use is at first part of the Data Protection strategy. So primary reason is security.... the second one is that a snapshot will trigger the Data Progression on demand. Even when not licensed for DataProgression (because of only having one Tier) the system use a hidden one and please keep in mind that there RAID conversion from RAID10 -> RAID5 for example. If not it will kicked in on 07:00pm. Regards,Joerg
We are running an SC with a single tier of storage. Is it required to apply a snapshot profile to an SC with a single tier of disks? I understand snapshots play a role in data progression, however in this case there is a single tier of disks. Can I remove the volume from all snapshot profile associations? Is there any risk to data in doing so? After removing the snapshot profile from a volume, I plan to expire all associated snapshots. Any issue with this?   Thanks
