Note: (Multiple virtual drives can be configured on a single drive group)
For this paper, Drive Groups were configured in the following way to support all infrastructure, user data, and linked
clone disks needed for 200 floating assignment linked clones:

Three Virtual Drives were created from the Drive Groups and Spans created above. Only Virtual Drive 2 utilizes the
