The Performance Diagnostics feature is aimed to help those running benchmarks to optimize their benchmarks, or optimize their vSAN configuration to reach their expected goals. Note that it is a […] ” vSAN 6.6.1 Performance Diagnostics Demo ” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com . Follow me on twitter – @DuncanYB.

Now, one of the pet peeves a few of us have had with this configuration was that a warning was always reported around read cache reservations on all-flash vSAN. Of course, read cache is irrelevant to […] The post View 7.1 and vSAN 6.6.1 interop – nice fix appeared first on CormacHogan.com .
