Toward the end of your planning process, use a pilot deployment to validate and improve your production deployment plans.
Create a small pilot deployment that represents the breadth of the plans you have made.
Test and monitor your pilot deployment to see whether it is meeting users’ needs.
Adjust your plans as needed.
When your plan seems solid, proceed with Setting Up Shared Storage
in the Filr 4.1: Installation, Deployment, and Upgrade Guide.
