The Avaya Aura® AE Services virtual machine does not have a large disk footprint, nor is it particularly disk input/output intensive. AE Services generates a fair amount of log information. As a general rule, if a failure occurs at any of the hypervisor, network, or network-attached storage levels, it is possible for AE Services to lose some of its logging information.
When deploying AE Services in a VMware environment, follow these storage recommendations:
Always deploy AE Services with a thickly provisioned disk. The choice between eager and lazy zeroed makes no difference for the AE Services VM.
For best performance, use AE Services only on disks local to the ESXi host or SAN storage devices. Do not store AE Services on an NFS storage system.
