Horizon does not require any special configuration to work with PowerStore. The storage is presented as block storage volumes discoverable through vCenter. When the pool is created, the volumes are visible as usable disk space.
For this test, Horizon is configured to use all 16 datastores for VM creation across both pools. This configuration spreads the virtual desktops evenly from both pools across all datastores. The goal is to load balance all storage for best performance and consistency.
Based on performance testing under load, the Horizon max concurrent instant clone operations setting is set to 10. This value is derived from observing storage latency during instant clone provisioning.
