Hello,
I could not find, why has VMware View got limitation 64 virtual machines pre one fibre channel LUN?
Is it limitation of View Composer or any other componets of VMware View ?
I read this limit on any web and any guides but I can not find why ?
Thanks

A review of VMware View 4.5 Limits and Maximums
Limits
Limits may vary according to the versions and releases in use. So, it is important to understand that limits presented here are a combination resulting from the following components: VMware View 4.5, vSphere 4.1 and vCenter 4.1.
- 8 Hosts per Cluster (including 1 hot spare)
Limit set by View Composer.
- 16 VM’s per CPU core (NEW! previously was 8 )
- 512 Clones per Replica or Desktop Pool (for Linked Cloning)
- 64 VMs per LUN
Applies when using Fibre Channel array only. No limit for NFS or iSCSI
- 10,000 VMs per vCenter (NEW! previously 3000)
Limit is variable and will vary according to vCenter activity (power on and off, reconfiguration, cloning etc)
If I am not mistaken that was a limit on how many linked clones you can have per LUN. This was on an older version of View and was found in one of the reference architectures. I tried to search for that particular document but couldn't locate it.
