If you use VMFS (LUN) datastores, I wouldn't reconmmend aligning more than 1 VM per ESX server (as the bandwidth from the service console is very limited). If you have NFS datastores and are aligning from a Linux system (i.e. not the service console) you can probably align 4-8 or more per filer, depending on bandwidth to your filer.</P><P></P><P>-Michael</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 Jun 2011 08:35:58 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/mbralign-VMs-concurrently/m-p/9250#M939 Darkstar 2011-06-08T08:35:58Z
