Looking to set up VDP and want to make sure I do so in the best way possable. I have a sphere/view enviroment with a couple of ESXi servers on our private network. ALso have a PHYSICAL box for vCenter and a PHYSICAL box for veiw.
1. If I put VDP on an existing ESXi, and have the VDP storage on the same san as the VMs will it copy entirely within the SAN or will it move all data through the VDP and back to SAN (uping utilisatin of both the already crowdes iSCSI connection and increasing read / write ops on the san itself)?
2. If I put VPD on its own dedicated ESXi server with local storage and dedicated iSCSI connectin to SAN, will all data move straight from SAN to VDP and be stored, or will it go through each VMs ESXI server and travel over the private network to the VPD?
If anyone can help me understand how data moves to be backed up, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Robb
