Virtual SAN Design (Optional)

Virtual SAN will be implemented for the management cluster to reduce the requirement to provide an additional storage array (SAN/NAS). The available hardware for the management cluster is compatible for use with Virtual SAN.

The design recommendations in this section are contextually based on best practices when used in the context of the Software-Defined Storage Technical Materials.

The major areas and decision points in this section are:

Hardware considerations

Network design

Virtual SAN datastore characteristics

Virtual SAN sizing

Assumptions and constraints
