The NFS datastores will need to be mounted on each of the ESX hosts. Please follow the below steps to
mount NFS datastores on the ESX host server.
1. Open FilerView (http://filer/na_admin).
2. Select Volumes.
3. Select Add to open the Volume Wizard. Complete the Wizard.
4. From the FilerView menu, select NFS.
5. Select Add Export to open the NFS Export Wizard. Complete the wizard for the newly created file
system, granting read/write and root access to the VMkernel address of all ESX hosts that will
connect to the exported file system.
6. Open VCenter Server.
7. Select an ESX host.
8. In the right pane, select the Configuration tab.
9. In the Hardware box, select the Storage link.
10. In the upper right corner, click Add Storage to open the Add Storage Wizard.
11. Select the Network File System radio button and click Next.
12. Enter a name for the storage appliance, export, and Datastore, then click Next.
13. Click Finish.
For CIFS traffic, configure the VM Network vswitch (with 4 vmnic uplinks as shown) to span multiple
physical switches, with two NICs connected to each switch. When connecting to each network switch, use
ports on different network cards on the server to achieve high levels of availability.
5 VALIDATION RESULTS
The storage configuration described in this document was validated by configuring the environment
described above and then performing a real world workload. A FAS2050HA (Active / Active cluster) was
used to validate a 1000 seat VMware View building block architecture. The ESX infrastructure consisted
of eight 16 core servers supporting 128 VMs per ESX server. All VMs were simultaneously booted and
the workload was executed on all 1000 virtual desktops for the duration of a 12 hour period. This
workload was based on a power user and included typical software components such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Power Point, Adobe Acrobat and Firefox.
The data found in this section validates that the architecture described above is capable of providing an
excellent end user experience.
5.1 APPLICATION RESPONSE TIME
The graph below shows the average application execution time for all 1000 virtual desktops for the
duration of the validation. All VMs were booted and the workload was simultaneously started on all 1000
guests and data was collected for a 12 hour period. The graph represents the response time of the
applications and hence the end user experience that one would expect to have.
