Hello, We are using VMware View Horizon version 6. We are currently using Linked Cones with Floating Pools that get refreshed every night. We are using storage Tiering where the replicas are on fast SSD storage and the Linked Clones are stored on slower 7.2k Sas Storage. Performance wise things are looking good.
Currently we only have about 200 Desktops provisioned.
We are in the middle of redesigning some of storage as there is allot of wasted space and other things. While looking at things, I noticed that all are Master images for our pools are on a 15k Sas Lun. This is the master images of the Desktop that has the Snapshots for the linked clones to be made from. We currently have about 8 pools so 8 Master images, im calling them master images there might be a term for them that im not using.
My question is, do these Master Images with the Snapshots need to be on Fast 15k Sas storage, or can they be on 7.2k Sas storage? We also have 10k Sas as well.
Ive been looking this up and having found info on it yet, found plenty on setting up Storage Tiering, but no guidelines as to what type of storage the master should be on.
I know that we can test this by moving one to slower storage and then seeing how fast they get provisioned, but not sure I have time at the moment.
Thanks for any input
