HPE Smart Path and Storage Spaces Direct

ente — Wed, 23 Oct 2019 11:18:28 GMT

Hello Guys,

does anyone have a recommendation on enabling or disabling SSD Smart Path on S2D-Nodes?

I know that it should be disabled f.e. for vSAN.

Thanks!

Thank you for your response. I read the document, but I can not find an answer to my question.

In an S2D Environment on HP Nodes, is it better to use the feature or not?

Thank you!
