| | Hyper-V and Raid Configuration My windows 2008 server configured hardware Raid 1 for C partition, and Raid 10 (G drive), the rest of the storage. I want to use Hyper-V manager to create a windows 2000 server virtual disk on G drive, later will install SQL version 7. Normaly, I would have to have 3 physical disk to install OS, SQL data, and log files in separate drives to prevent performance issues, but in Hyper-V how do we do that. Would single virtual disk enough with all OS, SQL being on same VHD? no perfromance issues? Thanks MC |

| | Re: Hyper-V and Raid Configuration I would add to this that you could separate the VHD's onto separate virtual SCSI controlers to, minus the C drive due to Hyper-V boot drive limitations. I always try to mimic what I would do in the physical environment when dealing with the virtual hardware setup. -- Rob McShinsky http://www.virtuallyaware.net "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uSOmDhBIJHA.4408@xxxxxx Quote: >I would create 3 VHDs, and size them appropriately for each task.

| | Re: Hyper-V and Raid Configuration I would be less likely to worry about multiple virtual SCSI conntrollers here, given the synthetic nature of the SCSI controllers and the way the buss works. But it wouldn't hurt to do so. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Rob McShinsky" <UseGroup@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OC8c0tdIJHA.1304@xxxxxx Quote: >I would add to this that you could separate the VHD's onto separate virtual >SCSI controlers to, minus the C drive due to Hyper-V boot drive >limitations.
