I never did such a reseach of VM. But I think it's very useful.

No. I think it just means performance for your randomly accessed blocks will continue to kick arse, but your sequential I/O to same VMFS volume would continue to be slowed down because of the interruption of random I/O at the VMware level.

A Compellent storage architect would be more qualified to answer, but the slowdown that Scott is talking about is at VMware level and independent of the type of storage.

Very interesting article!

Scott Drummonds posted an article about how disastrous in terms of I/O could be the mix of sequential and random workloads on the same LUN. Read more at http://vpivot.com/2010/01/1...

Does that product solve issues I'm talking about in a commt at http://vpivot.com/2010/01/1... ?
