VMware vSphere allows VMFS datastores to be expanded across multiple storage volumes (LUNs) by using the VMFS extents (multiextent) feature. Typically there is a one-to-one mapping between a VMFS datastore and a volume, but with multiextent, a single VMFS datastore may be partitioned across multiple storage volumes.
The distribution of the data by vSphere across these volumes may be unpredictable. As a best practice, you should build VMFS datastores that use multiextent on volumes that are in the same volume group. This produces crash-consistent snapshots and provides better data protection.
