PROTECTION OPTIONS
NUMBER OF FAILURES TO TOLERATE

Defines the number of
hosts, disk or network
failures a storage object
can tolerate.
For n failures tolerated,
n+1 copies of the
object are created and
2n+1 host contributing
storage are required!

Virtual SAN Policy: Number of failures to tolerate = 1
NUMBER OF NODES IN A CLUSTER

SELF-HEALING
Why start with 4 nodes?
Provides full re-protection when a node is lostVirtual SAN can
then tolerate another failure
This is true for the following cases:
Maintenance mode full data migration/full protection
Rebuild components on failure when FTT=1
Another use case is rolling upgradesfull data migration/full

protectionno risk if a failure occurs during an upgrade
If you want VMs to remain highly available during failure,

maintenance or upgrades, consider configuring Virtual SAN
with additional capacity (minimum 4 nodes)

OVERVIEW
BENEFITS
Intelligent grouping of hosts

across location (racks/rooms)
Data integrity is maintained

even in the event of the failure
of a rack or room
Ensure that data replicas are

stored in different fault domains
A copy of the data is always

stored in a different fault domain

OVERVIEW
Single parity protection (RAID5-like) and double parity
protection (RAID6-like). Single parity can tolerate 1
failure and dual parity can tolerate 2 failures
Virtual SAN
Datastore
Single parity will be 3+1 and requires minimum

of 4 nodes
Dual parity will be 4+2 and requires minimum
of 6 nodes
