Hello,
We are currently using Dell R820 (5 hosts) for our VMware 6.5 vCenter/Sphere. The Dell servers have been in production for around 4 years and warranty is running out soon. We are looking to buy a few hard drives for spares and plan to use the server for another 2 years. In our current environment, we are able to run with 3 hosts to support about 120 VMs (we took two hosts down for maintenance a few times).
If for any reason, if we do have an emergency in which we need to buy additional servers, would running mixed Dell models be an issue? Currently we have HA & DRS enabled.
Thanks,
TT
