Hello
we are replacing our backup storage and have chosen a Netapp E2860. Is there any experience here in the community with this system or a few tips that we could still consider in the configuration? LUN size, block size other features ?
Kind Regards
Thomas

Hi
What would be the optimal lun size for NTFS ? We have Windows as operating system on the media agents. For our old Backupstorage the Fujitsu DX100 we are using 9 TB Luns
As far i remember i copied options from here. You can find DDP pool specific configuration explained.
Pretty sure it would work on default settings too.

Please have a look at the vendor pdf, old but still valid.

They may have some additional info in their Support site Knowledge base.

parted -a optimal -s -- /dev/mapper/lib0-p5-v1 mklabel gpt mkpart primary xfs 0% 100%
mkfs.xfs -f -d su=131072,sw=8 -i size=1024 /dev/mapper/lib0-p4-v1-part1

Did you already buy the box(es)? Are you going to connect it to multiple MAs?
