By Duncan Epping, Principal Architect, VMware.
As promised last week an update that includes new white papers. First one is by Venky Deshpande and is about VDS best practices, highly recommend read. The second paper is by VMware's storage guru Cormac Hogan. Anything that Cormac writes is worth reading in my opinion. There's more papers in the pipeline so keep checking these updates.
White paper:
- VDS Best Practices Guide (Venky Deshpande)
http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/10250 - VMware vSphere 5 VMFS-5 Upgrade Considerations (Cormac Hogan)
