Vista - Hyper-V VM Pagefile

I am running Hyper-V in a 4 node cluster. Is it possible / advantageous to
offload the pagefile for each vm to either the host or to another disk to
try and speed up performance?

Regards

To another disk, possibly...to the host, not so much. :-> Treat your VM
architecture decisions no differently than you would when considering
physical servers and their purposes.

Thanks for the reply Ryan.

So if i offloaded the pagefile to a seperate disk, as im in a failover
cluster would i have to have a seperate pagefile disk/LUN for each VM. In
which case each VM would then have 2 LUNS. Would the pagefile LUN then have
a dependancy on the original VM LUN?

While i agree it would be best to treat the VM no differently to a physical,
im trying short term measures to speed up a slow virtual environment while
we increase the backend storage (i.e more disks / spindles).

Regards

That is correct; again, just like you'd do in a physical server.
