Re: Storage I/O control benefit with one host only?

Hi Yannara,

Think you posted something similar just there

Just seen this one - notice you are using DAS storage - in my instance we have fibre in our branch offices which is supported - unfortunately DAS isn't

 

See:

http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc%2FGUID-8AE88758-20C1-4873-99C7-181EF9ACFA70.html

Storage I/O Control Requirements
#

Storage I/O Control has several requirements and limitations.

#

#

##Datastores that are Storage I/O Control-enabled must be managed by a single #vCenter Server system.

##Storage I/O Control is supported on Fibre Channel-connected, iSCSI-connected, and NFS-connected storage. Raw Device Mapping (RDM) is not supported.

##Storage I/O Control does not support datastores with multiple extents.

##Before using Storage I/O Control on datastores that are backed by arrays with automated storage tiering capabilities, check the #VMware Storage/SAN Compatibility Guide to verify whether your automated tiered storage array has been certified to be compatible with Storage I/O Control.

#Automated storage tiering is the ability of an array (or group of arrays) to migrate LUNs/volumes or parts of LUNs/volumes to different types of storage media (SSD, FC, SAS, SATA) based on user-set policies and current I/O patterns. No special certification is required for arrays that do not have these automatic migration/tiering features, including those that provide the ability to manually migrate data between different types of storage media.


Hope this helps!
