Hi to all!
I'm in a customer designing a new Horizon View 6 architecture.
The customer has two datacenters, managed by the same vCenter.
The VDI resource pool has 10 esxi hosts, 5 from each datacenter.
So, I have the idea to separate replica and OS disks in different datastores, to read the replica disk in a flash datastore, and the virtual machines (OS diks) in another datastores with SAS.
But the problem I see is that I have only one datastore (in datacenter 1 or datacenter 2) with the replica disk. So, If I lose this datastore (the datacenter 1 goes down for example), I'll lose access to all machines in that pool, because the machines will not be able to read that file.
In this scenario, would you recommend? I've been thinking the best answer would be two datastores (one per datacenter) and NOT separate replica disk, so Composer will create one replica disk in each datastore. If I lose one of the datacenter, I'll lose only 50% of the virtual desktops, right?
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance
