The downside is: 1) it uses much more RAM to add a storage group vs. adding a database or just staying with one. 2) it uses more space because there is a second set of STM and log files and single-instance-store is broken. 3) it may take more backup time and backup tape
I'm not arguing against doing it.

I am still unclear if it improves performance to balance users across multiple IS. Are there good reasons NOT to do this? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
