Aligning LVM's (vSphere)

  • 772

I would like to know if it is necessary to align LVM's in it?

I'm using VMware vSphere and as it is a best practise to align the disks (to 64 or 128 kb) I want to align every disk.

Thanks

    If you create datastores in raw LUNs using the VI/VSClient in 3.5 or 4 it automatically aligns the disks. If you do it during installation or via the CLI you have do go out of your way. Hope this helps.
