Hello Team, Need help in Pure Metro storage cluster configuration
Hello Team, Need help in Pure Metro storage cluster configuration. https://support.purestorage.com/Solutions/VMware_Platform_Guide/User_Guides_for_VMware_Solutions/ActiveCluster_with_VMware_User_Guide/vSphere_Metro_Storage_Cluster_With_ActiveCluster%3A_Overview_and_Introduction As per this document there are two ways to configure it Uniform and non-uniform. Uniform configuration indicates Local and Remote paths to be configured as AO (Active Optimized), but during storage failure scenario Local storage takes 17 to 20 seconds to time out. During that time Storage array sends a PDL to ESXi host and host removes the devices. Due to which the vSphere HA configured to react on PDL restarts the VMs and that causes a outage for the customer. Which is not expected. From ESXI host there is no way to Change PDL behavior. Now my question is there anything that we are missing in this configuration, as during my talk with Consultants they are very sure 17 to 20 seconds delay is expected in this setup and during that time though the paths are available devices returned D:0x2 0x5 0x25 which is PDL. Looking for the guidance to overcome this situation. If anybody here faced such situation during the implementation
Accelerate Teaser - VMware -> OpenStack
Big changes are afoot in the Virtualization world with the introduction of Broadcom's new licensing model for VMware. People are looking at how to move from VMware to another visrtualization platform. At Accelerate in Las Vegas, 2025, we will be showcasing a new feature in OpenStack that will allow you to seamlessly migrate VMware guests that currently exist on a Pure Storage FlashArray, either in a datastore or as a vVol, directly into OpenStack. Using a simple process, sometimes only requiring one step, your VMware guests can be made availble in your OpenStack cluster. As part of this Accelerate FlashTalk we will demonstrate this process using manual, GUI-based methods, and also using full automation with Ansible. If you are interested in this, make sure you register for Accelerate in Las Vegas, June 17-19.
