HUH increase the number of IOPs, nice.

Continued to use a SAN way out of warranty / support options, and has dual controllers failing. Along with didn't make a backup of the VM he needed.
Damn.. that sucks, best practiced he's eschewed, not replacing critical equipment regularly and not checking his backups!

And using an appliance without being in support. Black box approach has a vendor dependency.

He had "important" data in RAID 0 and quick formatted one of the drives with no backup. Then won't accept advice to send the drives to professional service.

Black box appliance, did not maintain support. Only mildly burned here, they got lucky.

Serious butt hurt here: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1912628-emc-vnxe3100-troublesome-storage-pool-vmware-view-vdi
Unfortunately, any further help is forbidden under the new storage rules. Now he's pretending that he asked for more help than he did. He wanted a vendor name, he got two, now he's hurt that he's an "idiot". Seriously?

I muted him, obviously he was just there to troll.

Wow He even bought a new VNXe3200 Flash? VNXe is stupid with flash and has lots of yearly licensing or you can't keep using it. Unity devices are the way to go for midrange. but VNXe sucks, and is cheaper initial costs so a lot of SMBs get it even though over time it costs more.

If you can't figure out on your own using some tools why VDIs are running slow.. you shouldn't be running VDI haha.

Yeah, seems like they just made one bad decision after another, then used other bad decisions to justify more bad decisions. They have money to just "set on fire" and then complain about how those of us spending less leave in an "ideal" world and that he has to live with "reality." Talk about excuses.

Or at least shouldn't be "running it yourself."
