    Asymmetry in vSAN ESA – Part 2: The Role of RI and MU Disks

    In this second part, we’ll explore how the types of disks used in a host or cluster can directly influence the behavior and construction of a vSAN ESA cluster. In my last article, Asymmetry in vSAN ESA – Part 1: What You Need to Know, I explained what it means to…

    Asymmetry in vSAN ESA – Part 1: What You Need to Know

    When configuring a vSAN ESA cluster, you may encounter servers that have asymmetrical disks. But what does this mean in practice, and what are the impacts? The asymmetry can occur both in terms of the available storage capacity on each host and the type of disk being used. What Is…
