we have a VNX5300 working as Block without DataMovers. Next weeks we want to upgrade to Unified and install two DataMovers on the two VNX. We have 2 StoragePools. 1 Pool with 15 SAS and RAID5, 1 Pool with 8 NLSAS and RAID6.
Is it possible to use these StoragePools also for File (CIFS and NFS)?
I use 7 TB with RAID5 in StoragePool 0. Now i use 3 TB of this Pool for VMware. After installing DataMover next week i will use 1,5 TB for NFS or CIFS from the same StoragePool.
Last Days i read a VMware Book. The Author says that the VNX need different StoragePools for Block and File.
we use multiple LUNs. So, we have 2 LUNs with 1TB only for vSphere5. Next we create 2 LUNs in the same Storage Pool also with 1TB per LUN for CIFS or/and NFS.
