vSAN Erasure Coding Failure Handling
I had a very interesting question recently about how vSAN handles a failure in an object that is running with an erasure coding configuration. In the case of vSAN this is either a RAID-5 or a RAID-6. On vSAN, a RAID-5 is implemented with 3 data segments and 1 parity segment (3+1), with parity striped […] The post vSAN Erasure Coding Failure Handling appeared first on CormacHogan.com.

Kubernetes, Hadoop, Persistent Volumes and vSAN
At VMworld 2018, one of the sessions I presented on was running Kubernetes on vSphere, and specifically using vSAN for persistent storage. In that presentation (which you can find here), I used Hadoop as a specific example, primarily because there are a number of moving parts to Hadoop. For example, there is the concept of […] The post Kubernetes, Hadoop, Persistent Volumes and vSAN appeared first on CormacHogan.com.
