All,
I have an existing Storage Spaces pool on a Windows Server 2012 R2. All drives are HDD, and the pool is divided into three volumes (1 mirror, 2 parity). I am considering adding some SSD's for the performance increase by implementing tiered storage. However, while I have found quite a few guides detailing how to set up tiered Storage Spaces from scratch, I haven't been able to find one that describes how to add tiering to an existing pool.
My questions:
1. Can you add an SSD tier to an existing Storage Spaces Pool? If so, how?
2. Is it destructive to existing data? I will abandon the plan if it isn't transparent to existing data.
Thanks in advance!
