您好,我们的VM带有文件SERBER,可以安装在Nutanix的一个节点上。目前,磁盘的大小为3.5 TB,但我们希望将此尺寸扩展到4.5TB。是否有人知道VM是否可以与如此大的磁盘相处正确?

Hi SergeySephora,<\/p>

If the hypervisor is AHV, the virtual disk size is almost limitless. The theoretical maximum would be 9 exabytes. So, if the guest operating system supports the desired size, it is good to go.<\/p>

However, i would recommend not to create large disks for performance reasons. In Nutanix we have write cache, which is called oplog and the oplog is always 6Gb in size. It is assigned per vdisk and it means that every vdisk has 6Gb of oplog no matter what size the vdisk is. If you get a very big vdisk and you do write operations towards it very actively, it might be performing slower, because the oplog would get full very quickly. The trick is to create multiple vdisks and present them to the guest OS. If the application cannot work with multiple disks and requires only 1 disk, you can use striped volumes to create a single guest disk made of multiple Nutanix vdisks. For example, if you need 4.5Tb, you can create 5x900Gb disks to get the same size, but that way you will get 5 times write cache compare to asingle large vdisk and the performance will be better. However, if performance is not very important, you can go with 1 large vdisk.<\/p>","className":"post__content__best_answer"}">

嗨,谢尔盖西弗拉,

如果管理程序为AHV,则虚拟磁盘大小几乎是无限的。理论上的最大值将是9个exabytes。因此,如果来宾操作系统支持所需的尺寸,则可以使用。

但是,我建议不出于性能原因而制作大磁盘。在nutanix中,我们有编写缓存,这称为OPLOG,OPLOG始终为6GB。它是每个VDISK分配的,这意味着每个VDISK都有6GB的OPLOG,无论VDISK尺寸是多少。如果您获得了很大的VDISK,并且确实非常积极地为其编写操作,那么它的性能可能会慢,因为OPLOG会很快得到满足。诀窍是创建多个vdisk,并将其呈现给来宾操作系统。如果该应用程序无法使用多个磁盘工作,并且只需1个磁盘,则可以使用条纹量来创建由多个Nutanix VDisk制成的单个访客磁盘。例如,如果您需要4.5TB,则可以创建5x900GB磁盘以获得相同的尺寸,但是这样,您将获得5次写作缓存,与Asingle Asingle大VDISK相比,性能会更好。但是,如果性能不是很重要,则可以使用1个大型VDISK。
