Hi all ,
Now i am deploying a new nutanix cluster with 10 all flash nodes and each node has 4 ssd disks
so during my search in nutanix docs i noticed that nutanix marked up to 4 ssd disks in each node as a metadata disk
so in my case it can sign at least 1 ssd disk for metadata and this disk can not be used for regular VMs Data
my question is one of four ssd disks will be marked as a metadata disk and cannot be used for regular VMs Data ?
+8Is this original hardware from the HCL? So, before purchasing there has a sizer being done? In the sizer you can see the capacity.
If this is a hybrid cluster (mixed drive types) then the slowest drives will be used for "cold data” (capacity tier) and the fastest drives will be used for “warm data” (performance tier). You cant configure a “metadata disk".
In your case all SSD will be part of the capacity tier and all nvme drive will be used for performance tier. All disks together will be your storage pool. And (if using rf2) dived that by 2 and you have your approx storage capacity.
