VMware Storage and Availability Technical Documents Hub

homepage

This was something I came across accidentally so thought it may be worth a very brief post about as I found some useful content there.

VMware Storage and Availability Technical Documents Hub, is an online repository of technical documents and “how to” guides including video documents for all storage and availability products within VMware. Namely, it has some very useful contents for 4 VMware product categories (as of now)

  • VSAN
  • SRM
  • Virtual Volumes
  • vSphere Replication

For example, under the VSAN section, there are a whole heap of VSAN 6.5 contents such as technical information on what’s new with VSAN 6.5, how to design and deploy VSAN 6.5…etc as well as some handy video’s on how to configure some of those too. There also seem to be some advanced technical documentation around VSAN caching algorithms…etc & some deployment guides which I though was quite handy.

Similarly there are some good technical documentation around vVols including overview, how to set up and implement VVols…etc.. However in comparison, the content is a little light for the others compared to VSAN, but I’m sure more content will be added as the portal gets developed further.

All the information are presented in HTML5 interface which is easy to navigate with handy option to print to PDF option on all pages if you wanna download the content as a PDF for offline reading which is cool.

I’d recommend you to check this documentation hub, especially if you use any storage solution from VMware like VSAN and would like to see most of the relevant technical documentation all in a single place.
