Folks,
Apologies, for raising yet another question on the topic of datastore sizing but I cannot seem to find an answer to my specific question.
I will be adding 9 x 500GB LUN's to act as data drives for a new file server. The operating system is already built and lives on a separate LUN.
My plan is to use VMFS and house a single virtual disk on each of the nine datastores. My (vague) understanding is that I don't need to keep snapshot space for these nine drives as a snapshot will utilise the space from the LUN where the operating system resides. I am wondering if it is common or advisable for a single virtual disk to use 100% of a datastore and is my assumption about snapshots correct?
Thanks,
Michael
