This VCSA in the below example is the VCSA 6.5 embedded PSC deployment. Let’s login to the VCSA appliance and take a look at the VCSA 6.5 VMDK Partitions & Mount Points from the server side. In this article, we will discuss about the VCSA 6.5 VMDK Partitions & Mount Points information based on the vCenter Server Appliance deployed using a Tiny specification.īelow are the VCSA 6.5 VMDK Partitions & Mount Points layout information based on the Tiny deployment of VCSA 6.5. Size of the VCSA 6.5 VMDK Partitions & Mount Points vary based on the deployment size of the vCSA appliance. VCSA 6.5 VMDK Partitions & Mount Points -Detailed View Space increase for the particular mount point for the specific application is also become easy with this separated VMDK design. This also helps you to place the particular VMDK such as VCDB on the high performing storage and also to place logs file mount point VMDK on the Tier 2 storage LUN using VM storage policies. Each VCSA VMDK maps to a specific function and OS partition within the VCSA. In vSphere 6.5, VMDK is again increased from 11 VMDK’s to 12 VMDK’s as compared to vCSA 6.0. If you needed more storage for the VCDB database but not for your logs or other applications, you had no choice but to increase the size of your entire volume. This increased number of VMDK in vCSA 6.0 is to simplify the several challenges with increasing the disk capacity for the particular application component. First VMDK is for Operating system and various VMware applications such as vCenter Server, Web client, etc and Second VMDk disk is for storing the application data such as VCDB, logs, SSODB, etc. Prior to vSphere 6.0, vCSA contains only 2 VMDK. From vSphere 6.0, number of VMDK’s of vCSA appliance is increased from 2 VMDKs to 11 VMDKs.

It’s become kind of rocket science for windows based VMware administrators to understand and manage VCSA 6.5 VMDK Partitions & Mount Points. Diff VCenter 5.5 appliance and vCenter on WIndows.
