I'm deploying the appliance right now. I see it has created 9 VMDKs (along with 4 vnics). I deployed these onto local storage but had to use thin provisioning as I don't quite have 2.5TB available. I'm deploying a NAS alongside the server.
My question is this: Should I prep the NAS first as an NFS store and THENdeploy the entire DXi appliance to that store in vmware?
Or do I keep things as is and have the virtual appliance reference the NAS store after the fact?
