Comments on: Storage Short Take #4 http://blog.scottlowe.org/2008/12/02/storage-short-take-4/ The weblog of an IT pro specializing in virtualization, storage, and servers Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:34:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Dan C http://blog.scottlowe.org/2008/12/02/storage-short-take-4/comment-page-1/#comment-42575 Dan C Wed, 03 Dec 2008 09:25:12 +0000 http://blog.scottlowe.org/2008/12/12/storage-short-take-4/#comment-42575 Regarding ASIS limits, this has been a concern of ours also. The value of dedupe is limited if you expect to grow beyond the present platform limitations any time soon. We raised the same hypothetical situation of hitting a catch22 position - where our data to undedupe would require a larger volume but the volume couldn't be grown whilst still SIS'ed. It is covered in NOW KB35784 but the only recommendation is to migrate data to another volume during the process. I do know you can expect the limits to grow in the future. But given Larry's reluctance, I shaln't say any more. Regarding ASIS limits, this has been a concern of ours also.
