Questions re Centera Collections
Hi All... I tried to locate info with this new format and didn't have much luck. Support was not much help either.
We are currently running EV 7.5sp1 -- with plans to upgrade to sp5 soon.
Unfortunately, we have run into the object limitation issue on the Centera. Rather than purchase new storage, we are looking at ways to downsize the number of objects and eventually upgrade the Centera to remove that object limit. I am currently deleting old archives and vaulted items, but thought enabling collections would provide faster relief.
I currently have 2 Centera partitions... one of which is closed. I assume to implement collections, I would need to close the current partition and open a new one with collections enabled? If I turned collections on the (then) closed partitions, would there be anyway to back out of it?
Is there any noticable performance degredation for day to day operations with collections running (IIRC this is 24/7 since it cannot be scheduled with ev7.5).
Any assistance and/or suggestions would be most appreciated =)

With Centera collections the files are collected as they are archived, not according to a schedule. So enabling collections will not work retroactively but only collect newly archived items.
I do however agree that using collections is a best practice and have verified with EMC that fact.
