Hi, [URL] and [URL] I believe smartpools will allow you to do it with mixed drive sizes.   Let us know if you have any additional questions.
Hi, For the Isilon A2000, if I wanted to max out the cluster capacity of the array and I currently have 14 nodes using the 10 TB drives (280 drives total) ~2.73 PB, can I use the 16 TB drives on the remaining 238 nodes? Do I need to create a separate pool or can the existing pool be expanded? Based on the specifications the A2000 supports the following: Chassis capacity: 10 TB (800 TB), 12 TB (960 TB), 16 TB (1.2 PB) Hard Drives Per Chassis: 80 # of Nodes per Chassis: 4 # of Chassis: 1 - 63 # of Nodes: 4 - 252 Cluster Capacity: 800 TB - 80.6 PB Current Configuration: Currently configured for 14 Nodes so I assume 238 nodes are remaining to reach capacity which if using the 16 TB drives should give me around 74 PB or do I have to stick with the 10 TB drives which will only give me ~46 PB? Does the cluster need to be the same drive size or can you use other supported sizes such as the 16 TB? Thanks
