> We had a High-Availability system that was missing a drive. We
replaced

option--we
> added it, then balanced it based on capacity. I watched it run: it
took
> a little off each of the other drives and added it to the new one
until
> they were all equally used up. After that, though, we had different
> periods during the day where the new drive raised an alarm in Ops
> Navigator: it would be over 90% busy, while the other drives were
running
> at 5-10% busy. We tried to balance by usage and still ended up with
the
> same problem. We never learned why we had the difficulty--if the
original
> balancing just happened to take parts of the same file off other
drives or
> some other thing.

> Once we refreshed our H/A system from a production backup, the problem
> went away.

> If you have the time, I'd vote for option #3.

> This weekend we are installing 20 new disks in our AS400 and we would

> We think that we have 3 different ways to balance the data:

>
> 1.- Capacity balance. All data will be shared between disks depending
on
> the capacity. However, we think that is possible that all data of a
> table will be in a single disk.
>
> 2.- Usage balance. All data will be shared depending on a set of
> statistics. Using this system we could obtain a small disk full of
data
> while the new big disks will be rather empty.
>
> 3.- Apply a backup and restore of the R3<SID>DATA library. In this
case
> all the data will be shared among the disks in a most equilibrate way,
> where the data of all the tables will be shared in different disks.

> Is it true?. Do you know other ways to balance the data? Is the 3rd
> solution the best one?. What will you do in our case? (The database is
> 400 GB)
