I don't think the seperate pools for control data are needed with the container pools. We used to create a small diskpool storagepool with a seperate copypool or send the data to a "prio1" type copypool so restores of this data to the diskpool can be made quickly in case of a DR situation. When VM's are being backed up in a periodic full schedule they can be restored from tape after the control data is restored back to a diskpool.
With the container pools there is (atm) no copy to tape option and if that option comes there will be no restoring directly from tape so the data needs to be staged back to disk before it can be restored to VMware. This makes the use of a seperate storagepool for control data unnecessary, at least I for one no longer see the advantage On Wed, Mar 16, 2016 at 4:19 PM, David Ehresman < [email protected]> wrote: > Koen, > > Why different containers?
