[ngw] Antw: GW in Vm environment

[Thomas Stimper]

Hi Thys,

>1. Disks should i do "Independent" / "Independent -Persistent" or
"Independent - Non-Persistent" .. sorry about this i just want to be
sure .. heard horrible things about snaphosts and edir
do not do any Independent, but i would not put e eDir replica on this
servers if you plan to restore the VM from days ago.

>2. Then also it talks about  "Sharing"?  ... "no=sharing" or
"multi-writer" or " unspecified"  this is all new.. remember this is in
a vSAN all flash setup for storage..if it matters....
No sharing, if you do not want to build a OES cluster whithin Vmware

>3. "Virtual flash read Cache"? .. do i enable? and how big do i make
this? 4Gb 8GB 10 or nothing?..
yes, enable, i  configure 10% of the actual data on the VMdisk.

Best regards

Thomas

hosts before ..what do i select?for now gw2012, will upgrade to gw2014

A few questions on VM creations... vCentre  vxrails ..... and this an
All flash solution,,
 
For my normal OES/Linux boxes .. i know filr specify some these
following questions but for my sles/oes/gw boxes what do i do?
 
1. Disks should i do "Independent" / "Independent -Persistent" or
"Independent - Non-Persistent" .. sorry about this i just want to be
sure .. heard horrible things about snaphosts and edir
 
2. Then also it talks about  "Sharing"?  ... "no=sharing" or
"multi-writer" or " unspecified"  this is all new.. remember this is in
a vSAN all flash setup for storage..if it matters....
 
3. "Virtual flash read Cache"? .. do i enable? and how big do i make
this? 4Gb 8GB 10 or nothing?..
