Client Driver Notes:

• All svdc clients and the svdc-director were VMs created using SPECvirt Datacenter 2021 template.
• Each svdc client has 4 vCPUs, 8GB memory, 12GB disk, 1 VMware VMXNET Ethernet Controller and 1 VMware PVSCSI SCSI Controller
• The svdc-director has 8 vCPUs, 24GB memory, 12GB OS disk, 75GB datastore disk, 2 VMware VMXNET Ethernet Controller and 1 VMware PVSCSI SCSI Controller
• The second VMware VMXNET Ethernet Controller on the svdc-director was used as an external management port.

Other Notes:
