Overview of this book

Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) can help you simplify the provisioning and daily operations of computing and storage. With this book, you'll understand how HCI can offload the day 0 deployment and day-to-day operations of a system administrator. You'll explore the VxRail Appliance, which is an HCI solution that provides lifecycle management, automation, and operational simplicity. Starting with an overview of the VxRail Appliance system architecture and components, you'll understand the benefits of the VxRail system and compare it with the environment of traditional servers and storage. As you advance, the book covers topics such as disaster recovery and active-active and active-passive solutions for VxRail. By the end of this book, you'll have gained the confidence to manage the deployment, administration, planning, and design of a VxRail system.

  • vSAN Performance Service
  • The vSAN iSCSI target service
  • Advanced options

These features can be enabled during deployment, if we specify in the PEQ, or can be enabled manually after deployment; we need to enable these features manually if we want to use them. If we go to the Configure tab of the VxRail cluster and choose Services under the vSAN menu, we can enable these features:

Now we will discuss each vSAN feature one by one.

vSAN Deduplication and Compression is only supported on VxRail all-flash clusters; VxRail hybrid clusters are not supported. It also requires a VMware vSAN license edition of Advanced or above. When vSAN deduplication is enabled...
