I was playing around with a vSAN 6.6 environment yesterday and I figured I would record a quick demo of some of the new functionality introduced. Took me a bit longer than expected, but here it is. I hope you will find it useful, a 1080p version can be viewed on youtube.
Duncan, fantastic demo. I am looking forward to the follow-up encryption demo. I am quite impressed with how far vSAN has matured over the last several years. Thanks as always for keeping the technical details flowing!
Thanks!
Thank you thank you thank you for adding Resync Throttle control, during hardware degradation issues this was so badly needed. Hopefully no more need to tweak hidden vsish settings for throttling resync.
I would like to know to have the featured listed in the demo and total 8 hosts (4 on each DC) how much would it cost including the 10G switches redundancy, All licenses, Supermicro boxes for 30TB usable storage?
Can I suggest you work with a VMware partner or a VMware sales person to figure out the cost. I am not in sales and pricing will vary per region etc.
Why isnt the storage consumption model on the primary and secondary mirror reflecting the actual data requirements? Primary mirror for a 100GB VM should be 100 in both sites, and then a local mirror would also add to that capacity rather than just showing the erasure coding capacity required, is this a bug or by design?
That’s a known bug. I reported it a week or two ago and will be fixed in an upcoming patch.
