a. Select Storage > Storage Configuration > File Systems.
b. In the dialog box that appears, click Create.
c. Select Create from Storage Pool.
d. In Storage Capacity, type the required number of file systems (as
detailed in Table 9) and accept the default values for all other
parameters.
4. Export the file systems using NFS, and give root access to vSphere servers.
5. Configure the required Data Mover parameters:
a. Select Settings > Data Mover Parameters.
b. From the Set Parameters list, select All Parameters, as shown in Figure 6.
View all Data Mover parameters Figure 6.
c. For each Data Mover, select Properties, and update nthreads, as shown
in Figure 7.
Note: The default number of threads serving NFS requests is 384 per Data
Mover on VNX. Because more than 384 desktop connections are required in
this solution, increase the number of active NFS threads on each Data Mover
to a maximum of 512 (for 500 virtual desktops) or 1,024 (for 1,000 virtual
desktops) or 2,048 (for 2,000 virtual desktops).
