Hi
We have purchased 3 HP servers with the following storage:-
3x480GB SSD
6x1.2TB 10k SAS
The above is in each server and the plan is to use VSA to utilize shared storage and failover (HA)
My question is, what is the best way to configure the storage so that I make the most of the available space and get esxi and the VM's running optimally?
We have essentials plus licences for the 3 server units if that helps.
The 6x1.2TB drives in each server will be formatted with RAID 50 and used as a virtual SAN, I think thats the best solution for those drives?
I want to optimize the SSD drives but am not sure what to do for these or where to install ESXi on each server?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Mark
