This is true with any hyperconverged solution, but considering they support up to 40 disks per host (35 capacity drives) using the 4TB NL-SAS drives I'm using I can get 140TB of RAW capacity in a host (70TB with mirroring).

If your talking about replacing drives one at a time (Something EMC/HDS/Netapp don't support generally or frown on) you can in vSphere 6 put a single drive in maintenance mode. Even with hot-swapable drives you still need to put the server in maintenance mode. In vSphere 6 I can issue a re-balance, in 5.5 it automatically did it when a disk hit 80% usage.

Upgrading storage- Describe how to do this without moving guest to another host.Įasy, put more drives in the host.

For a reason: DAS is plain cheaper (no extra hardware except spindles), faster (SAS/SATA is lower latency then 1 GbE) and more reliable (less components to fail). Don't get me wrong: Synology (just like Netgear) are excellent backup units so I think you need to get at least ONE of them but I don't see them as a primary VM storage. Technically Synology s HA biggest drawback is slow failover and active-passive design. + you pay money for some proprietary hardware you'll skip using in 2+ years. There are even free offerings for setup you target. Throw in more spindles into your hypervisor boxes and configure virtual SAN from vendor you like. so i am looking at using a nas/san to ensure we have some good uptime.

one never knows when your server can just die. I would be running a cluster of 2 servers running vmware. Scott i want to be able to have some level of HA in case one of the servers fail.
