Storage DRS 5.5 Update 2 Best Practice - Quick Question

Hey Everyone,

Getting ready to deploy Storage DRS.  If I have 12 LUNS that are all the same characteristics, would it make sense to create a Storage DRS cluster containing all 12 LUNS?

Thanks for the insight.  Matthew

Kaizen!

Are all LUNs connected to the same hosts/clusters? If yes, then it absolutely makes sense to enable SDRS. (While it's not a requirement, I prefer to map SDRS clusters to host clusters.)

Review this guide on SDRS for more details:
