We have a filesystem with 'system' and 'v7kdata' pools. All the NSDs in v7kdata are with failure group '-1'. Filesystem metadata is already replicated. Now we are planning to replicate the filesystem data. So, If I add new NSDs with failure group '2' in the
v7kdata pool, <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">would I be able to replicate GPFS data between NSDs with '-1' failure group and NSDs with failure group '2' ? i.e have one copy of file on
NSD with '-1' and another copy on NSD with failure group '2' ? or Do I have to change the NSDs with failure group '-1' to '1' ?</span></div>
