Designing vSAN from RV Tools output

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to analyse RV Tools output to design a vSAN Cluster. Or share the formulas to design CPU,RAM,HDD from the VM output?

Thanks,

Hi Chaith

For what it is worth I have tried the spreadsheet below which should help you to size your environment based on the amount of VMs you will be running and the disk policies you will be using

It is very comprehensive

VSAN 6.5 and 6.6.1 resources calculator -

It also takes vSAN workloads into account even though it says 6.6 it should work for 6.7

There is a vSAN sizing tool available from VMware: https://vsansizer.vmware.com/

In the tool you also have the possibility to import an RVTools feed, or you enter the average usage values manually.
