All,
I'm running through a PoC project with a customer using View 5.1 following the guidelines in "VMware Reference Architecture for Stateless Virtual Desktops on Local Solid-State Storage with VMware View 5" as close as we can.
http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/10278
I have eight nodes all identically configured with local SSD storage - again all identical model drives, all empty.
Creating a pool of linked clones across this group creates some very uneven placement of the images.
As an example if I create a pool of 80 VM's on the 8 local discs the distribution will be something like...
Disc 1 - 30
Disc 2 - 5
Disc 3 - 0
Disc 4 - 25
Disc 6 - 10
Disc 7 - 10
Disc 8 - 0
If I then remove 30 V's from the pool it might delete all 30 from disk 1. At the moment every action on the pool has to be manually controlled.
Has anybody else come across this behavour.
