Example of a Non-Stop Storage Configuration
2.1.1.
Overview of System Configuration
The system uses VMware vSphere 6 for virtualization.
Storage Cluster is used to provide duplicate storage systems and vSphere HA is used to provide duplicate ESXi servers for the business servers.
Storage Cluster supports FC and iSCSI for connections between servers and storage systems, and connections between storage systems.
This configuration uses an FC.
Two Fibre Channel switches are also provided for redundancy.
A management server is used to manage the virtual environment and storage systems and to collect performance data.

The ESXi servers, vCenter Server, ESF Server, MA Server, MA Probe, Fibre Channel switches, and ETERNUS AF/DX use the NTP service to
synchronize their clocks.
DNS Server and AD Server
Required by vCenter Server, the ESXi servers, and management servers to check FQDNs with each other.
