VSAN Design Thoughts

VSAN Design Thoughts

VSAN Design Thoughts

by Paul McSharry on December 22, 2015 I recently taught an onsite VSAN course for a VMware client. They were a great bunch with some amazing experience on larger scale VSAN implementation. As part of the design discussion section we came up with a mindmap on areas to consider when building a VSAN solution. Thought it maybe helpful for other people. So here it is. Comments are closed. What is Elastic Sky?

Replacing a vSAN caching disk

Replacing a vSAN caching disk

Once the disk has been replaced you will be unable to delete the disk or the disk group both from the…Read More

This had to do with the default location of the scratch partition, the number of expected writes to the SATADOM device and simply the fact that […] “Virtual SAN and support for SATADOM” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com.
