Hi there,
I'm new here, and I´m new to all this VM stuff, storage, san, etc etc... and I got some questions about VMware and FAST VP.
As far as I know I have to move a VM to a LUN on the FAST VP pool, then FAST VP will what?
Will take a "slice" (a block if get it right) of the VM having more workload and will put it into a SSD drive to gain better performance for that VM? And then what?
Also, I did a little investigation about this, but I got more confused, is it necessary to measure the IOPS of the VMs that are intended to be moved to FAST VP luns, right?
Since I'm barely new to this whole VMware stuff and since I'm still trying to understand lots of concepts from VM documentation and EMC documentation... here's another of my newbie question... What's the difference between FAST VP and to set "shares" on VM options? Or even, what's the difference with Storage DRS.... Beat me if you want but I´m learning this from zero and it's very confusing!
Any tip will be highly appreciated.
Regards!
