About the Best Practice Guide
Each DataCore implementation will always be unique and giving advice that applies to every installation is therefore difficult. The information in this document should be considered as a set of ‘general guidelines’ and not necessarily strict rules.
DataCore cannot guarantee that following these best practices will result in a perfect solution – there are simply too many separate (and disparate) components that make up a complete SANsymphony installation, most of which are out of DataCore Software’s control – but these guidelines will significantly increase the likelihood of a more secure, stable, and high-performing SANsymphony installation.
This guide assumes that DataCore-specific terms - e.g., Virtual Disk, Disk Pool, CDP, Replication, etc. including their respective functions – will be understood. It does not replace DataCore technical training nor remove any need to use a DataCore Authorized Training Partner and assumes fundamental knowledge of Microsoft Windows and the SANsymphony suite.
Compatible SANsymphony Versions
This document applies to any SANsymphony 10.0 PSP9 and later versions (earlier versions are now end of life). Any recommendations that are version-specific will be clearly indicated within the text.
