Hi,  Would suggest following the below steps to create an appropriate pool for VMWare Datastore.  When you are in the storage pool wizard during the initial configuration (can also be started later by going to "System -Storage Pools" and selecting the "Configure Disks" button) select the "Manually sreate a new pool" option then click on the "Select application" list box and select "Pool created for VMFS VMWare Storage - Database" option. Now click "Next" button, specify the "Pool name" and click "Next" button again. No the next screen you will see a list of available Storage profiles based of the type of disks you have in the system. I would suggest using the "High Performance" profile if you are uisng SAS disks or "Best Performance" if using EFD disks. You can click on each of the profiles to see a detailed description, which will expain the type the RAID and number of disks its going to use.  Regards, Subhash
I have a new VNXe3150 SAN unit. I'm looking at setting up a clustered VMWare enviroment using 3 host servers. The total amount of servers will not exceed 10. One of these servers will be an exchange server, and another one will be a pretty massive SQL database server. I do plan on getting rid of the file server and moving all of our shares to the SAN as well. Does anyone have any recomendations on how to setup the Storage pools on the SAN? I'm new to this so I'm not quite sure how I should do it.   Thanks
