Hi,
We are planning a new virtualization deployment for a customer. Virtualization hosts will be VMware 6.7 and storage array will be a shiny new Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 which has an Intel P4600 NVMe 2TB (fixed configuraton from our provider, I can't chage that). I'm planning to make 2 partitions and use them as a SLOG and L2ARC respectively.
Is there any downside in having both SLOG and L2ARC on the same NVMe disk? Obviously if I had two separate devices for SLOG and L2ARC, performance will be better, but as I said, unfortunately I can't change that.
¿Have you any experience on this? ¿Any suggestions to better use this NVMe drive?
Thanks
