My largest database has grown to 1.4 terabytes and need to be restructured because of I/O performance issues.
The data was originally spread out across 4/ 250 GB LUNS and have now grown to 6 files of various LUN sizes.
We need to add additional space, since purging data is very political and no agreement is in sight. We do not wish to keep adding files but would rather create larger LUNS to combine some files, is this good idea?
How have you dealt with the growth of your data? I will have only a few hours outage to complete the reorg.
