Aligning Our Partitions

In this document we will see something old but that we have never talked about and we still find it misconfigured in clients when it comes to auditing the systems; when you have a virtual server that requires high performance at the disk level, we must check that the partitions are correctly aligned!

Using Datastore Cluster on VMware vSphere 5

It is one of the new features of vSphere 5, It is a pool of datastores that will help us to manage the datastores together, always obtaining the best result to locate a virtual machine and thus have a higher performance at the disk level since it will always offer us recommendations to choose the lightest datastore. It will also analyze and generate recommendations for moving virtual machines between the different datastores in the cluster.
