underlying storage for Maximo 6.2

From: therron (2016-07-19 12:21)


Here's an odd one:

Our IT department is upgrading something and has asked me:

Can Maximo (6.2 on Windows 2003 Server) be moved from a 4K block drive to an 8K block drive to run more efficiently in <this virtualization thing they bought>?

Actually, I think he really meant to ask about a 64K block drive. Anyways, I can't think of a reason why it couldn't. Can anyone think of a reason this would be a problem?

Probably thinking of block size on the fixed disks... It will have minimal affect as it shouldn't be reading the disk much...
(Assuming we are not talking about the dB)
