Hi guys
I have a dell setup with esxi, and have brought a drobo pro for backing up and extra storage, just wondering what you guys would recommend? ie best to set it up as storage connected to a virtual machine or try to get it connected as a datastore?
I will not be setting up vm's on the drobo just backing them up.
I understand theres a 2tb limit on volumes on the esx side, which puts me off.
Are there any speed differences etc, are there any other things i should be considering?
Not really used esxi properly so just trying to figure out the best way to do it before I do too much with it
thanks in advance
