Fusion preset: VMFS datastore volumes for VMware ESXi clusters (with two-tier snapshots and QoS)
Hi all, I put together a Fusion preset for one of the most common block use cases in our environment: provisioning VMFS datastore volumes for a VMware ESXi cluster. What it does: - 4x 4 TiB datastore volumes on a FlashArray//X storage class (adjust count/size to your cluster design) - Two-tier snapshot retention: hourly snapshots kept for 1 day (fast rollback) plus daily snapshots kept for 30 days - Per-volume QoS limit (50k IOPS / 1 GiB/s) so a single datastore cannot starve the array - An "environment" parameter (prod/test/dev) that is requested at deployment time and written into the workload tags for filtering and chargeback The JSON follows the conventions of the official PureStorage-OpenConnect/fusion-presets repository, including the _comment documentation style. One honest note is included in the preset itself: array-side snapshots of VMFS datastores are crash-consistent, not VM-consistent, so treat them as an extra safety net next to your backup solution. GitHub link: https://github.com/knabespecht/pure_workflows/blob/main/presets/vmware-esxi-datastores.json Feedback welcome, especially on the QoS defaults and retention values you use for similar setups.VM Analytics for Xen
Hi, we have recently brought Citrix Xenserver into our environment and have purchased an X20 for the storage component for this. We have an X50 for our VMware environment and physical servers needing drives assigned (as well as leveraging File on that array). Do love the VM analytics that Pure1 provides in from our VMware environment. Just wondering if other Hypervisors (such as Xen) are on the roadmap to also get this feature available in Pure1?Healthcare Sessions at Accelerate 2026
