Hello I dont know i should ask this question on VCF form or VSAN so i am asking on both. I have two physical hosts Dell R630. 128 GB Ram , 4x500 SSD, 2tb HHD on each server. and one NUC for witness node. Please suggest which option is better . would like to build nested homeLab VSAN , VCF and NSX-T 1: Build 2 physical node VSAN cluster and build nested homeLab " VCF and NSX-T on top of VSAN " . 2: Build nested 4 Node Cluster on each physical hosts and use one cluster for VCF/MGMT CLUSTER and another COMP cluster for NSX-T and other VMs. please help  how can plan IP/ Network.

i have two host one hosd have 8 ssd and another host have 8 hhd  and one NUC with 2 ssd. my question is do i have to match ssd and hhd ( 4 ssd and 4 hhd per host and build 2 host vsan cluster with one witness node or build three node cluster with( 2 servers+one NUC)

Home Lab : i have two physical hosts for vsan cluster with one witness node. 1. can i build nsx (( management & Edge) and Compute ) two  clusters on top of one vsan cluster    or ( Managmend , Edge , Compute ) three cluster on top of  one vsan cluster with two physical hosts and management on witness node (NUC) 2. or build two nested vsan clusters on two physical hosts with one witness node  and install nsx Edge and Compute clusters on top of both vsan clusters and install NSX management on NUC. each physical server have 3x500 gb ssd and 3x 4tb hhsd and 500gb ssd  for vmfs storage on each hosts and 80 gig memory on both hosts posting nsx and vsan community please advise

Hi to all, we're evaluating 2-node 6.7 Vsan stretched  deployment where nodes have the following disk configuration each: i have 1tb ssd on which  i had created vmfs datastore and deployed vcenter , dc, dns, dhcp also i configured Compute and Management cluster on each physical host also i have witness node Note: both physical host have 96 gb memory and two 1gig network card 1st  Physical  host : 1st vSan cluster have vSanDatastore  : 3x 500 ssd = 950 GB performance                                                                                                  3 x 4TB Hhsd = 10.5 tb capacity  In this cluster i would like deploy three Virtual Esxi hosts with (1x500 and 1x4tb Hhsd ) or assign  each vESXi host 300 gb ssd and 300 tb hhsd my question is vSanDatastore is on physical host  how to divide and assign storage to all three Virtual Esxi hosts. 2 nd physical host:  same configuration and same question

we have small VDI environment and vCenter virtual machine (windows ) and Horizon View virtual machine is in same vCenter  environment . i would like to move both virtual machines in another vCenter environment. don't know how it can effect current VDI . please advise.

I am looking help design home lab (nested) Current hardware: Dell POWEREDGE R630: CPU: Xeon 2620 V4 8 core x2 -16 core RAM: 64 GB DDR4 HARD DRIVE: 4 (500GB SSD= 2 TB); 4 (4TB SSHD= 16TB) USB =32GB RAID CONTROLER: H730P (VSAM SUPPORTD) 4 INBUILT NIC AND 4 ADDED = 8 NIC CISCO LAYER 3 SWITCH 3750E (IF NEEDED) NEED HELP TO DESIGN: VSAN THREE SITES OR FOUR SITES? TWO DATA CENTER LINK MODE (NESTED) ONE FOR NSX (I DON’T KNOW IF IT BETTER IDEA TO INCLUDE IN BOTH DC? HOW MANY HOST NEED IN EACH DC? NETWORK DESIGN?
