It seems that 2-node vSAN for ROBO (remote office/branch office) deployments are becoming more and more popular. The fact that one can now connect the 2 vSAN hosts at the remote office directly back-to-back without needing a 10Gb switch has reduced the cost extensively. And with the introduction of a vSAN Enterprise for ROBO license […] The post 2-node vSAN – witness network design considerations appeared first on CormacHogan.com .

Considerations for using LACP with vSAN
I am a firm believer on spending a good amount of time during the design phase of any deployment. Planning ahead, and knowing your limitations will make your life easier, maybe just a little bit, but every bit helps. If you are planning on using LACP for link aggregation on vSAN, I strongly advise you … Continue reading Considerations for using LACP with vSAN

vSAN stretched clusters are an easy, fast, and flexible way to deliver cluster level redundancy across sites using a capability built right into vSphere. Since it is enabled at the cluster level, a mix of stretched clusters and non-stretched clusters can easily co-exist and all be managed by the same vCenter server. This flexibility can The post vSAN Operations: Use separate SPBM policies for VMs in stretched clusters appeared first on Virtual Blocks .

VMware vSphere includes a feature called Maintenance Mode that is useful for planned downtime activities such as firmware updates, storage device replacement, and software patches. Assuming you have VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) enabled (fully automated), Maintenance Mode will migrate virtual machines from the host entering maintenance mode to other hosts in the cluster.

During one of our many discussions at VMworld 2017, I was asked about supporting Fault Tolerance on vSAN Stretched Clusters, more specifically SMP-FT. Now to be clear, we can support SMP-FT on vSAN since version 6.1. The difficulty with supporting SMP-FT on vSAN stretched cluster has always been the possible latency between the data sites, […] The post Supporting Fault Tolerance VMs on vSAN Stretched Cluster appeared first on CormacHogan.com .
