Exécuterning virtual machine on separated disk from HyperV

Message par ForumBot »

i want to setup server that have 4 SSDs. On one SSD i will install Windows Server(Host) with Hyper-V on it and on other 3 SSDs i will install(SQL Server(Windows Server), Dev environment(Windows 10) and Hosting(Windows Server)) each environment will be on it's own SSD.

Question is, will there be benefits from this approach?
Or there is maybe better approach?

I' am not familiar with this things so any advice would be great or some link to point me.

Thx :)

This is an extremely 'unhealthy' design. You'll have 4 SPOFs, you'll steal IOPS from your production applications, and you'll have 4 separate silos of storage to manage. Boot from mirrored el cheapo SATA DOMs (32-64GB should be OK), and add your 4 SSDs into RAID5 or RAID10 volume.
