Hi, One of my customer is running OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 on ALPHA4100 system. He would like to form a stripset with RZ29VW disks. I would like to know is there any limitation on the size of the stripset? What is the maximum size? Thanks for your help in advance. Kenneth Leung

The size of a stripeset is limited by VMS restrictions on the size of a Files-11 disk. The largest Files-11 disk for VMS V5.5-2 is 8.5 GB. VMS V6.0 and up the restriction is approximately 2.2 TB. The largest stripeset that I know has been created is 32 GB. Colleen | |||||

Kenneth, While .1 is right for striping generally, >One of my customer is running OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 on ALPHA4100 system. striping software dealing in this conference is not available as a formal product on Alpha platform. If you're talking about StorageWorks RAID Software, COOKIE::RAID_SOFTWARE_FOR_OPENVMS is the appropiate place for your question. - Kazunori | |||||
