Storage High Availability


Generally storage vendors will have their own documentation and methods for configuring storage appliances for High Availability. In general, we want to ensure that the following is configured on each storage device:

  • Two or more physical NICs wired into two or more switches

  • Choose storage solutions with High Availability or failover options

  • For load sharing, use multiple IPs to allow separate traffic pathways to utilize multiple links

  • Configure storage with RAID 6 or RAID 10 to ensure that any disk failures will not result in corruption or data loss during the rebuild phase

  • For Virtual SAN, we want to ensure that multiple NICs on each host are dedicated to Virtual SAN traffic

  • Storage should be kept on its own isolated network

  • When configuring jumbo frames, be careful when adding new hosts to the network as they may not be able to communicate if misconfigured
