The primary source of storage for Cloud Foundation is vSAN. For example, a 1U server can have eight disks in the capacity tier and two disks in the caching tier. All disks are claimed by vSAN for software-defined storage.
The amount of available physical storage in workload domains depends on the number of physical hosts. The total capacity that is usable is also dependent on the availability requirements for the workload domains that are being configured. Storage policies are configured and specific to the workload being configured.
The following diagram depicts a typical storage configuration for Cloud Foundation:
In this configuration, storage traffic is carried over the 10 GBPS links between the hosts and ToR switches. All vSAN members communicate over this 10 GBPS network. Best practices recommend...
