Sir,
I am shifting File server data from FS1 server (Server 2012R2 Std) to FS4 (Server 2016 Std).
In FS1 Server Storage Configuration are as below:
Hard Disk Used: 4TB- 2 Nos. HDD + 1TB-2 Nos. SSD
Provisioning-Fixed
Layout-Mirror
Capacity-4.57 TB
Allocated-4.57 TB
Storage Tiers-Enabled
In FS4 Server Storage Configuration are as below:
Hard Disk Used: 1 TB-6 Nos. SSD
Provisioning-Thin
Layout-Mirror
Capacity-3.5 TB
Allocated-2.71 TB
Storage Tiers-Disable
In FS1, i have created D:\Shares\UsersProfile which saved all thin client users Profile using Folder redirection Policy. but within few months our Storage spaces D drive speed is become very slow which hits its performance. Now Storage Spaces speed is only 50-60 MBps. It may be that i am using the Storage Tiers and HDD.
But in FS4 i am using only SSD and storage space D drive speed is more than 395 MBps.
Now i want to Use only SSD in FS1 Server and remove HDD.
But in FS1 Server, I am using the Thick Provisioning and Storage Tiers.
So, i am searching the way to convert the Thick Provisioning to Thin and disable storage Tiers to retires the HDD and finally remove it.
