Question
A customer has a mix of Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 virtualized guests deployed in their vSphere v4 environment. They have purchased a new VNX array and are also upgrading their ESX servers from V4.0 to V5.0. Their VMware administrators are creating the new target LUNs and VMFS file systems for their datastores. They have noticed that the alignment offset on the new array is not the same as their old array, so they are concerned about disk crossing on the new array. How would you respond to the customer?
