When I boot my ESXi hosts that have no hard drives, and only an SD card installed, the vSphere client always complains about not having Persistent Storage set. I guess ESXi won't allow, by default, the log files to be stored on SD Card. So in the past I have always setup my logs to be stored on a SAN LUN.
I don't care for doing that so much, as in the event we lose the LUN, we lose the logs. Has anyone actually set the logs to be stored ON the actual SD card? I think it CAN be done, but Vmware doesn't do it because SD Cards have some kind of limited-write limitation which can be dicey for log files? Yet, I can't find information that clearly states how many writes an SD card can have and how many the ESXi logs might generate over time...
Anyone doing this?
Thanks
