ZFS esxi: auto tier, snapping service, scrubbing service ...?
Hi,
I see Nexenta ZFS has a lot of "services", as mentioned in this title and below in screenshot.
How should I configure them best practice?
Auto tier? Can do it locally or remotely, I guess that's also some kind of backup?
Snapping? Understand what it can do but I have the option to snap every hour(?!), won't impact be drastic on performance and where does it keep the data (I'd need massive extra storage right)?
Scrubbing? Here I have the option to do this weekly by default?

We do not do Auto-Tiering, or scrubbing.
Snapshots, only if you are going to use them, if you have another backup method, use that.

*Auto tier isn't relevant here to activate then?
*By default snapping shows option for every hour. What would you recommend + will it impact performance heavily?
*Scrubbing: ok, I'll activate it once a week
