Vcenter Server Appliance 6.0 - 11 disks?

[danswartz]

So I finally got around to upgrading my lab to 6.0. I happened to be looking at the settings for the VCSA and noticed it had 11 disks? None of them very big, either (like 10GB or so.) Any ideas what the point of that is?

Each service the new platform host runs has it's own disk. Lets you grow individual services as needed, not the whole bloody thing. At least, that was the theory.

Ah, thanks. I figured it must make sense if you know what's going on under the hood

Here's a further explanation including what each VMDK is for: http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2015/03/multiple-vmdks-in-vcsa-6-0.html
