Design of Cluster Expansion
In the previous chapter, you had an overview and learned about the design of VMware vSAN on the VxRail 7.x system, including Failure Tolerance Method (FTM), Failures to Tolerate (FTT), and stripe width. You understood the relationship and instead of vSAN objects and components on different vSAN storage policies—for example, RAID 1 and RAID 5. Based on the different scenarios, you now understand the benefits of the vSAN storage policy of how to offload daily operations in the virtualization environment.
Scale-up and scale-out are the core features of the VxRail 7.x system. You can add different hardware components to an existing VxRail cluster if you plan to increase the resources on the VxRail 7.x system, including memory, number of capacity storage drives, and number of VxRail nodes. Each model of VxRail supports different scale-up configurations. This chapter will discuss the design of disk groups on each type of VxRail 7.x system—that...
