Question : Problem: HP OpenView storage Virtual Replicator

We have a 2 node cluster with MS W2k Advanced server.

On the cluster, we have HP Openview Storage Virtual Replicator. We have a problem with insufficient capacity as there is a mininum free space per pool percent limitation on each Virtual pool.
Eg.
Virtual Pool = 1TB
Max Virtual Drive would create is only around 700GB.. where 300GB is not able to be allocated for use.

Understand that in the 'standalone' version of VR, we would change the size from30% to a lower percentage. However, we are unable to do so when the software is installed with its cluster version.

Please advise.
1) Are there any ways we could reduce the percentage for min freespace in the pool?
2) If yes, how could we do it?

The reg key was worth a try, really would like to know if you find a fix. You can always fill it up with snapshots ;-)


The problem is going to be getting a sensible answer from HP support since they don't know much about Compaq stuff and even less about DEC software. My ASE doesn't count for anything these days, they accept calls from anyone which means their service has gone down hill rapidly, the days when I could phone manufacturing and tell them they are doing screws up too tight are long gone. Their web is unsearchable, doesn't look in the PDFs properly and most of the docs that used to be on DECs FTP server are no longer published publically.
