I am being asked to provide some suggestions on a small shared storage environment. if a client wishes to pick up their environment they can with minimal reconfiguration. Environment is going to consist of:
3 node cluster
About 10-20 VMs (Servers and Workstations)
Not quite sure on how much storage, but for now let's just say 5-10TB.
For the time being I have to manage it in my current vCenter environment which is vCenter Server 5.0, various ESX 4.1 hosts but mostly ESX 5.0 U3's. I can't use vSAN since some of my older hardware (DL380 G5's DL585 G5 won't support the newer versions of ESX).
Anyone have any recommendations that I should look into? I has to be semi quick too...of course.
