Hi,
I've just realized that newly created volumes on our HDS storage is not aligned, although the disable track alignment is not checked when the volume is created.
Does anyone know why this happens and how we can verify if this is the actual case?
We're running SFW 5.1 SP2 and DDI Q4 2011 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1
All volumes that was previously located on a NetApp is listed as aligned.

You can check setting in "Track alignment" from SFW control panel so check:

Hello,
Please also ensure you have the correct ASL loaded for your HDS array. Dynamic Multi-Pathing provides the informaiton the volume manager needs in order to correctly align new partitions. If the correct ASL is not loaded then you will not have a properly aligned partition.
