Hallo Heiner, Stefan,

thx for this heads up ..
we know ... it's all GNR .. so the answer is a bit different, depending on the scenario
on the regular building blocks..  the RG Layout (2 RGs per BB) .. is different from the scale out ECE (#4+ nodes, one RG )  

The absolute max #vdisk is ( I think )  512  per RG  - but I would not recommend to go that far , when designing a data layout .. if ever possible..
we can have a short talk next week on that..
Try to keep the #vdisk as small as you can is the better approach ..

Hello Heiner,

the 64 vdisk limit per RG is still present in the latest ESS docs:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYSP8_5.3.5/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.raid.v5r04.adm.doc/bl1adv_vdisks.htm

For the other questions, no idea.

Regards,
Stefan
