After VxRail Manager backup files are created, they are located on the vSAN Datastore. This ensures that the backup files are stored within the same resilient storage infrastructure as the other critical data, providing redundancy and high availability.

When a VM is configured with hard disks totaling 100 GB and uses a RAID 5 vSAN Storage Policy, the total space consumed on the vSAN Datastore is approximately 133 GB. RAID 5 in vSAN requires additional space for parity, which is typically about 1.33 times the original data size. This means that for 100 GB of allocated space, the actual consumed space will be around 133 GB, accounting for the data and parity overhead.

To configure active-active teaming and set the failover order for the vSAN and vMotion port groups on a distributed switch using the vSphere Client, follow these steps:

Log in to vSphere Client:

Open the vSphere Client.

Enter the username: administrator@vsphere.local.

Enter the password: VMw@r3!123.

Click Login.

Navigate to Networking:

From the home screen, click on Networking in the left-hand navigation pane.

Select the Distributed Switch:

Locate and select the distributed switch that the vSAN and vMotion port groups are using.

Edit vSAN Port Group Settings:

Right-click on the vSAN port group and select Edit Settings.

In the Edit Settings window, click on Teaming and Failover.

Configure Active-Active Teaming for vSAN:

In the Teaming and Failover section, you will see the list of uplinks.

Ensure that both uplinks are set as Active Uplinks.

To do this, drag the uplinks from the Unused Uplinks or Standby Uplinks section to the Active Uplinks section if necessary.

Ensure that no uplinks are in the Standby Uplinks section (all should be in Active Uplinks).

Set Failover Order for vSAN:

Ensure the failover order is correctly set to use both uplinks for active-active teaming.

Click OK to save the changes.

Edit vMotion Port Group Settings:

Right-click on the vMotion port group and select Edit Settings.

In the Edit Settings window, click on Teaming and Failover.

Configure Active-Active Teaming for vMotion:

In the Teaming and Failover section, ensure that both uplinks are set as Active Uplinks.

Drag the uplinks from the Unused Uplinks or Standby Uplinks section to the Active Uplinks section if necessary.

Ensure that no uplinks are in the Standby Uplinks section (all should be in Active Uplinks).

Set Failover Order for vMotion:

Ensure the failover order is correctly set to use both uplinks for active-active teaming.

Click OK to save the changes.

Verify Configuration:

Check the Networking section to verify that the changes have been applied correctly and that both port groups are using active-active teaming with the appropriate failover order.

=========================

These steps outline the process to configure active-active teaming and set the failover order for the vSAN and vMotion port groups without accessing any hosts directly. This ensures redundancy and efficient use of available network resources.

The three data protection options included with VxRail are:

vSphere Replication: Provides simple and cost-effective replication of virtual machines for data protection and disaster recovery. It allows users to replicate VMs between different vSphere environments.

vSAN Stretched Cluster: Offers high availability and disaster recovery by stretching a single vSAN cluster across two geographically separated sites. It ensures data redundancy and site-level failure protection.

RecoverPoint for VMs: Provides continuous data protection and disaster recovery for VMware virtual machines. It enables point-in-time recovery and ensures minimal data loss in the event of a failure.

When the VxRail cluster is deployed, the vSAN storage policy settings applied to the VxRail Manager VM are as follows:

Failures to Tolerate: 1 failure - RAID 1 (Mirroring)

Object space reservation: Thin provisioning

These settings ensure that the VxRail Manager VM has redundancy to tolerate a single failure and uses thin provisioning to optimize storage usage.
