IMHO, minimum disk pool size is 3 to 5 times the daily change rate. That is the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM; hopefully you can get lots more than that.
If you don't know the daily change rate, try 5% of data volume for normal files. It will probably be closer to 2%. Now extrapolate for the data growth rate and you can get a scary figure quickly :) -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Case Sent: Friday, April 29, 2005 11:54 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: diskpool sizing formula ?
