how many hosts and luns in same datacenter ?

Hi,

I´m trying to find the best way to redesign a vi3 datacenter that have been growing a little to much without control.

Today it look lite this:

40 hosts, BL25

43 luns, 500G

>400 VM´s

All hosts can see all luns.

Hosts and VMs are grouped in TEST, PREPROD and PROD, but vmdk´s are spreed on all luns.

There is some performance issues and lot of scsi conflicts.

They also need to add 10 more hosts for 100 new vm´s that is going to be migrated from ESX 2.5.

I first plan to group luns in to TEST, PREPROD and PROD and then start to move all vmdk in to right place.

Then create 2 new farms and move in hosts. Then change the lun mask so that each farm only sees it´s own luns.

The PROD farm will than have 18-20 hosts and around 18 luns.

What is the recomendation on how many luns and hosts that can be in the same farm.

regards
