Sharing the “Top 10 things to know about vSAN” slides…
Advertise here with BSA I was asked by a few people to share the slides for our Top 10 vSAN session at VMworld. Instead of sending the slides around via email I figured I would simply throw it up on slideshare and share it here. ” Sharing the “Top 10 things to know about vSAN” slides… ” originally appeared on Yellow-Bricks.com .

vSAN Operations: Use Out-of-Band Management to view vSphere DCUI During Host Restarts
Visibility to vSphere hosts through out-of-band management has always been a convenient way to access the vSphere Direct Console User Interface (DCUI). Traditionally, remote management using Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) or some other method, provided the pre-boot visibility and control necessary to update firmware on the host, and see the host state if it The post vSAN Operations: Use Out-of-Band Management to view vSphere DCUI During Host Restarts appeared first on…Read More
VMware prepares vSAN channel strategy for the server refresh wave – SiliconANGLE
The installation of new servers and ancillary hardware usually follows a five-year cycle in many enterprise data centers, although there is growing evidence that rapid change in information technology structures are causing cycle times to accelerate.
Marc Huppert – Architecting VMware vSAN for Performance the VCDX way
What is needed to create a High-Performance vSAN environment? I will cover the architecture for vSAN Hybrid and All-Flash for ROBO and Stretched Enterprise environments. You will get a deep sight into the vSAN Architecture thoughts from real live customer implementations combined with live demos on the configuration. *About vBrownBag* SUBSCRIBE! http://bit.ly/vBBYoutube Socials: Twitter: https://twitter.com/vBrownBag Facebook: https://facebook.com/vBrownBag iTunes:…Read More
Mixing CPU/Server Generations in a vSAN Cluster – What’s Supported? | Full Stack KENgineer on WordPress.com
When designing vSphere clusters, vSAN or not, its pretty common knowledge that the hardware should match as much as possible. There are times when this is not possible, or doesn’t make sense.

What’s New in vSAN Management Webinar
We continue to make enhancements to the management and integration capabilities built into vSAN and our upcoming September 14th webinar “What’s New with vSAN Management,” will focus on how you can optimize your vSAN deployment and operations. Pete Koehler, VMware Sr. Technical Marketing Manager for Storage and Availability, will explore the new features in vSAN The post What’s New in vSAN Management Webinar appeared first on Virtual Blocks .
How to delete and change VMware vSAN disk groups | driftar’s Blog
I really like vSAN! If you’re looking for an easy, affordable, very well performing and scalable storage solution, there you go. VMware vSAN is ready to take all your workloads. It doesn’t matter if it’s just your nested lab environment, or something more serious like a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), big data or business critical applications like SQL databases and Microsoft Exchange servers.
vSAN Operations: Maintain Slack Space for Storage Policy Changes
vSAN “slack space” is simply free space that is set aside for operations such as host maintenance mode data evacuation, component rebuilds, rebalancing operations, and VM snapshots. Activities such as rebuilds and rebalancing can temporarily consume additional raw capacity. Host maintenance mode temporarily reduces the total amount of raw capacity a cluster has. This is The post vSAN Operations: Maintain Slack Space for Storage Policy Changes appeared first on Virtual Blocks .
New vSAN Stretched Cluster Topology now supported – CormacHogan.com
After publishing the vSAN Networking Guide earlier this year, Paudie O’Riordain and I received numerous questions regarding support on having different stretched clusters hosting each other’s witness appliances. These queries arose because we discussed a 2-node (ROBO) topology which allowed this to sort of configuration (i.e. the cross hosting of witnesses) via special request. But …
List all “thick” swap files on vSAN – Yellow Bricks
As some may know, on vSAN by default the swap file is a fully reserved file. This means that if you have a VM with 8GB of memory, vSAN will reserve 16GB capacity in total for it. 16GB? Yes, 16GB as the FTT=1 policy is also applied to it. In vSAN 6.2 we introduced the ability to have swap files created “thin” or “unreserved”

How can a VM storage policy improve vSAN cluster redundancy?
FTT dictates how many failures can occur in a vSAN cluster without sacrificing availability. How can you use a VM storage policy to define the amount of Failures To Tolerate?

Free e-learning course – VMware vSAN and HCI Fundamentals
This course begins with the concept of software-defined datacenter, software-defined storage, and hyper-converged infrastructure, then reviews traditional vSphere’s storage solutions and introduces vSAN as a new addition to the solutions. The course also discusses vSAN’s architecture, relationships between components and some basic concepts. This course explains the major vSAN technologies that fulfill workload requirements, and discusses the key features and common use cases of vSAN.
