Just playing devils advocate as this is an inherited environment but why would a given AppStack be replicated like that if the datastores supporting it are all flash? The point behind AppStacks (Appvolumes) is to reduce the number of copies of data.
Generally when updating AppStacks, you'll technically 3 copies
1) Original version
2) in-progress version
3) New version
in-progress dissolves itself at completion of the process and the original version goes away after everyone is off of it (possibly longer with retention periods). In any case, you just have one copy of a given version unless you are trying to spread the load across spinners or someone was trying to mix SAN storage with local datastores.
Well we have two VDI enviroments, one for CAD one for standard VM users. They both have a seperate data group Performance for CAD and Standard for normal VDI but they are both on SSD storage.
Would we be better off having just one group with a single datastore for all of them?
But it was setup but i very well respected guy from VMware a year ago, but i have found quite a few things that actually go against what VMware recommend in Appvolumes and other VDI systems he has been involved in so this could be another one to add to that list...
