10. DROs: Best Practices ………
Use a 2-node cluster as minimum building block deployment
Add additional nodes as required (performance and/or storage)
Each node must have its own DCSW license(s)
………
Take advantage of Stretch Cluster for enhanced HA (up to 50 km)
Use RAID-1 for SSDs and RAID-5 or 6 for HDDs (DRO default)
For storage upgrades, add at least 5-10% in SSD capacity
Use 1TB extensions on top of Base license to get to a specific capacity
Make sure to use appropriate 1TB Extension license P/Ns to optimize SW costs
Always add Implementation Services & Training
