For the first time since vVols was GA, Everpure is increasing the vVols scale limits for the FlashArray. With VASA 1.2.0 and running Purity//FA 6.1.7 or higher, here are the new scale limits by FlashArray Model.
|
FlashArray Limits |
//X10 |
//X20, //X50 |
//X70, //X90 |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Max # of vVols |
500 volumes |
10,000 volumes |
10,000 volumes |
|
Max # of vVol VMs |
500 volume groups |
2,000 volume groups |
2,000 volume groups |
The main take away here is that the volume group limits (a vVols based VM is mapped to a single volume group on the FA) have been doubled along with the volume limits for vVols. There was a significant amount of testing done on various FlashArray models and at varying levels of workloads and workflows.
