Re: Basics - difference between LUN and datastore?

Cheers schepp,

Am I right in saying it's generally a bad practice to have multiple datastores on a single LUN, but the other way around is OK?

I'm thinking of going with a 1:1 data store to LUN mapping, with multiple vms per data store.

If I wanted to tier out my storage for different applications, replication and backup purposes, I take it's generally advised to do this at the LUN level?

Thanks
