I am currently using DrivePool with WHS2011 but I want to upgrade to WSE2012R2 and I tested a little bit in a VM to get used to the new Server.
I installed WSE2012R2 + DrivePool test version in a VM and added a couple of Drives to test the Feeder Disk. I added the https://stablebit.com/DrivePool/Plugins Archive Optimizer Plugin, disabled all others and added one drive as a Feeder disk. I attached an image how I made the configuration.
Now to the question. If I copy something to my Pool, it will be placed on the Feeder disk first. But when will it be moved away from it? Till it is up to 71%? I tried a couple of things, but sometimes it moved the data directly to other disks, and then it finally moved it first to the Feeder disk, but never moved it away.
Can somebody please tell me what I have to do to get this behaviour:
I want that every file which is copied to the Pool will be placed onto the Feeder disk first, then the data should be placed on the Archive disks. Preferable when there is no load on the disks then the data from the Feeder should be placed to the Archive.
