Hi there,
I'm searching myself silly for best practices for provisioning VM's on VMware ESXi 6.0, my question is as follows:
MSA 2040 config: 1 virtual pool with 2 volumes (2TB), consisting of 2 400GB SSD's and 6 600GB SAS's.
VMware ESXi 6.0 via FC and SAN switches
What do I choose for provisioning on the MSA in VMware??
- Thin: seems not logical as virtual pools are thin provioned on the MSA. Thin on thin is not wise in my opinion.
- Thick Lazy Zeroed: seems logical as this is full provisioning on VMware, and thin on the MSA (with virtual pools)
- Thick Eager Zeroed: seems not logical. This is also full on VMware, but what does the MSA do with the zeroing process??
