This is a re-post from the official VMware vCloud blog: http://blogs.vmware.com/vcloud/2012/05/some-more-vcloud-director-configuration-maximums.html A question was asked yesterday regarding some of the configuration maximums that are currently not listed in the vSphere 5 configuration maximums document. Having discussed with vCloud Engineering and Product Management it has been confirmed that these numbers are used to provide the supported scale of vCloud Director and can be published to the wider community.

Today playing in my lab I had an issue running some VMs on a SSD. It turns out the Host Cache Configuration was causing some issues running the VMs on the same SSD. You enable host cache when creating a datastore on a SSD, but how do you disable it? Its not an option on the datastore properties.

Taking on a new challenge
After two years at VMware working in the Centre of Excellence (CoE) I can now officially announce that I will be starting a new role in April.
