Hi
I was hoping someone could help me understand maintenance servers a little better, I've a few questions.
1) During the migration of users, what role does the maintenance server play? We have a maintenance server located at site1 and we are migrating users at site2 from storageA to storageB, also at site2. It seems that the migration takes a considerable amount of time and on further investigation it appears that the data is routing from site2 to site1 and then back to site2 into storageA. Is this normal behaviour?
2) I also know that it is recommended that the maintenance server should be located on the same LAN as the storage. We have some restrictions at the moment and are unable to do this permanently. Would adding a temporary maintenance server to the LAN on site2 cause any problems and is it easy to re-assign maintenance servers to different storage locations? Can this temporary maintenance server be easily removed?
3) Will the migrations route through the temporary maintenance server at site2 once the storage locations at site2 point to this maintenance server? Also, should this speed up the migrations?
Any help in answering these questions is grealy appreciated
