Is the concept of "refreshing" volume groups possible
Is the concept of "refreshing" volume groups possible on an existing copy of a volume group? Let me rephrase. Say I setup a volume group (VG) of 24 volumes (PRD01) that are for a production database. I want to snapshot that group of 24 volumes and create a copy of it to repurpose as a prod support DB copy (COPY01) and another copy to mount on another server to get backed up (COPY02). When its time to backup the server again can I refresh the data of PRD01 group to COPY02?
Snapshots and growth
I have a question about snapshot growth and retention. Last week we had 14 days worth of snapshots and due to some storage growth, we changed this to 7 days worth of snapshots. Before the change was made snapshots were taking up about 21 TB of space, after the change that number is around 10 TB. This reduction of space was more than expected. We expected around a 5 TB reduction. We just added up days 8-14 to get the 5 number. The other 6 TB reduction came from the most recent snapshot which at the time was 11 TB in size and now its down to around 5 TB in size. Does anybody know why the most current snapshot also had a large reduction after making this change? We are trying to figure out future growth including snapshot growth.
