Abstract
An example method is provided for virtual machine data placement on a distributed storage system accessible by a duster in a virtualized computing environment. The method may comprise, based on location data relating to the cluster, identifying a first fault domain and a second fault domain of the distributed storage system. The method may further comprise selecting a first host with a first storage resource from the first fault domain and a second host with a second storage resource from the second fault domain. The method may further comprise placing a first copy of the virtual machine data on the first storage resource and a second copy of the virtual machine data on the second storage resource.
