The external storage system that vSphere uses can be a Fibre Channel or iSCSI SAN (storage area network),
or an NFS (Network File System) NAS (network-attached storage). With the Virtual SAN feature, available
with vSphere 5.5 Update 1 or later, the storage system can also be aggregated local server-attached storage.
The following example describes the tiered storage strategy used in a View 5.2 test setup in which one
vCenter Server managed 10,000 desktops.
Physical storage
n
EMC VNX7500-block only
n
1.8TB Fast Cache (SSD)
n
Eight 10Gbit FCoE front end connections (4 per controller).
SSD storage tier
A single RAID5 storage pool:
n
12 * 200GB EFD
n
250GB LUN for parent images
n
500GB LUN for infrastructure
n
75GB LUNs for replica stores (1 per desktop pool cluster)
Virtual machine desktop
storage tier
Two RAID 1/0 storage pools:
For pool 1:
n
360 15K 300GB HDD (47TB usable)
n
97 450GB LUNs for desktops
For pool 2:
n
296 15K 300GB HDD (39TB usable)
n
7 450GB LUNs for infrastructure
n
85 450GB LUNs for desktops
This storage strategy is illustrated in the following figure.
