Lefthand cluster best practices

[teledata]

I always try to install the FOM on local storage. (so it is not dependant on the same storage it is protecting).

The other benefit, is in the case of a reboot of the ESX host that FOM is running on, local storage is always going to be available (assuming you've configured the FOM VM to autostart). You can have the case where if you have a power failure, then power returns, it is possible that your ESX host(s) may finish booting before your SAN modules do. I always play it conservative with the FOM because I don't want anything impeding it from automatically launching as quickly as possible in the event of some kind of failure.

Hi

I have a designated 10mb connection for our DR site but grinds to a halt at certain times of the day unless we increase the available bandwidth, the latency is normally 1ms so technically this should not be a problem. Is there an option to buffer data for low bandwidth connections (10mb)?

Thanks
