Some Servers UCS-C240-M4SX. "RAID 5 enable" ordered through Cisco and defined with only one volume.
Because of that, ESXi has only one big datastore (more than 5 TB)
Is this a good practice to have only one datastore on ESXi ?
Should I redefine the RAID volume defined by Cisco to get 2 volumes ?
Or one datastore only is good as well.
Please advise.

Marc

If you are doing UConUCS Tested Reference Configuration, or a BE6000 / BE7000 appliance, then we prescribe the RAID.
High-level summary in this table: http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Supported_Hardware#Table_1_-_UC_on_UCS_TRCs

If you are doing specs-based-UCS, you have more flexibility on storage setup but the Collab BU can’t provide as much help validating your BOM or configuration.
