Hi All,
I am setting up my first SQL Hyper-V environment. Here is the
setup
Host:Windows 2012 R2 Data Center
7 pNIC's
2 - Teamed for Hyper-V Management
2 - Teamed for Hyper-V Virtualization
1 - iSCSI
1 - iSCSI
1 - Live Migration
SAN: EqualLogic PS6100 (Raid 50 - SAS 10K Drives)
V/M Guest:
Windows 2012 R2 with SQL
I have the vNIC connected to the network
I have created in Hyper-V - two Virtual Switches for connection to the EQL. These
vSwitches are connected to the pNICS for iSCSI on the host.
I have a volume on the EQL for the .VHDX's connected to the host. Inside resides our SQL VHDX.
I have another volume on the EQL that is for the SQL Data and Logs - I am connecting this directly to the V/M Guest via disk management.
The question I have... is this setup in a suitable way? I do not say "best" way, as
that is subjective. I do not have additional pNIC's to use for iSCSI traffic on
the guest, so I am using the iSCSI pNIC's of the host.
OR
Do I just create one big VHDX for O/S & SQL where data and logs reside as well.
Thanks!
