Hi,
I am not a Vsphere expert and have inherited a VMware estate with 16 MacPros (Cyllinder ones) running ESXi with VCSA all hooked upto an iSCSI LUN over 2 x 10G ethernet.
We use this to run our CI build agent VMs, these are linked clones of a VM and hence we get the ability to scale up and down very quickly. All this is ok.
Now the question is, on each of these MacPros there is 1TB of SSD disks which are very fast and perform better than iSCSI, so how can I best use them considering
- I don't want to loose ability to create Linked Clones for quick scale up / down
- I want to use vMotion atleast across some hosts if not the whole cluster
I looked at vSAN but it needs minimum of 2 disks per host and its not a possibility on MacPros.
What are my best options to use the fast 16TB storage.
Regards,
Shantur
