New concepts in vsan stretched clusters.
Vsan storage policy stretched cluster.
We are done with creating the vsan stretched cluster.
For a full experience use one of the browsers below.
For more information about designing and sizing considerations of storage policies see designing and sizing a vsan cluster in administering vmware vsan.
You can assign storage policies when you create or reconfigure virtual machines.
We will discuss vsan stretched cluster storage policy in the upcoming posts.
The pftt that was designated at the local site prior to enabling a stretched cluster is now set across sites.
From a policy perspective we now have the ability to configure both a pftt primary failures to tolerate across sites and an sftt secondary failures to tolerate within sites.
Vmware vsan stretched cluster guide.
The stretched cluster can allow you to have data mirrored to two different sites so that in the event of an entire site failure the vms will simply be.
One of the beautiful things about vmware vsan is that it opens up the door to many different ways to store your data and protect against failure and disasters.
A common question is how stretched clusters differ from fault domains which is a vsan feature that was introduced with vsan version 6 0.
Once the configuration is done it is very important to understand and create the vsan storage policy for the stretched cluster to protect the virtual machines across the sites.
Vsan in a stretched storage deployment accomplishes this by synchronously mirroring data across the two sites.
Storage policies have availability attributes and advanced attributes.
How vsan manages policy changes.
Behavior of non stretched cluster policies when transitioning to a stretched cluster once stretched clustering is enabled and configured in a vsan cluster the vms do not impart any secondary local protection logic for data placement.
Vmware vsan 7 stretched cluster with dual site mirroring is configured wrapping up.
Stretched storage with vsan allows you to split the vsan cluster across two sites so that if a site fails providers are able to seamlessly fail over to the other site without any loss of data.
In vsan 6 6 a number of new enhancements were made to the vsan stretched cluster implementation.
