Hi Folks,

I am new to the community and maybe its stupid question...

Had a discussion with my collegue today - If we have a Pool of, let say, 15 disks and we create a LUN on it. This LUN would have for exmaple 2TB and would be provisioned to one ESXi(VMFS5 1MB).

We create a VM of 100GB VMDK...

1. How many disks would serve the data. I mean if I write some data to the VM, would all disks be used simultaniously?
2. Do we have something like chunks here? Like 4 Tracks per disk, each Track 64k = 256k per disk, than use next disk and so on?

If so, would it be mean that I would only have the whole perfomance of 15 disks as of 3,8MB?

    3. Is there a difference in VNX/VNX2/VNXe or Thin LUN/Thick LUN or RaidGroup with traditional LUN?

I hope somebody can dissolve the knot in my head.

Thanks a lot

Regards

Didi
