Re: Migrating a file to SSD...

If you only add records and never read them, what good is putting the file
on SSD?

Oops, I meant write and never update...wait, are you saying they will get
migrated even if read (not for update)?

Yes, but there are easier ways. Take Sue Baker's suggestion and call support.

@Dan,
<snip>

Next time you modify a sector of that file paged in from it's old location, it'll page back out to SSD. In other words, 92% of that file hasn't been used since you changed the UNIT.

So if this file is only added to the existing HDD allocation would never
decrease?
And the SSD would be increased only for the newly added records?
If I wrote a program (I'm not saying I'll do this) to update every record
in the file it would then be 100% on the SSD?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi All,

Yesterday we attempted to migrate a large file (37 Gig) to the SSD using
CHGPF. When I check the file (DSPFD) it confirms that UNIT(*SSD) is now
changed.
This morning when I ran a query on syspartitiondisk it told my that 8% (33
Gig on HDD and 4 Gig on SDD) had been migrated. I was expecting this
percentage to be higher if not at 100%.

Am I misunderstanding? If I specify the UNIT on a file to be SSD does
that not mean that the entire file will be migrated to the SSD?

Thanks,

Rob
