I recently discovered a free tool that will assist VMware admins in detecting and resolving VMware VM partition alignment issues.\u00a0 VM partition alignment is critical in reducing i\/o at the storage array level for VMware infrastructure.\u00a0 Essentially poorly aligned VM partitions can double or triple the i\/o cycles to the storage array.\u00a0 If VM admins ignore this problem or are unaware of the issue, this problem can snowball and consume excessive storage i\/o limiting the number of VM’s that can be supported on a VM infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The free tool is called UberAlign<\/a>.\u00a0 UberAlign<\/a> will scan your VM infrastructure for misaligned VM’s and optionally re-align the VM to the correct offset.<\/p>\n
