Microsoft community,
I have built a new Hyper-V cluster with 2 x 2TB CSVs. These will host a range of VMs including SQL, Exchange, Lync, File Server and so on.
My intention is to split VMs across the 2 CSVs - 1 CSV for Operating System, Page File, Binaries and 1 CSV for Data.
e.g.
CSV1
- ExchangeOS.vhd
- SQLOS.vhd
- FileOS.vhd
CSV2
- ExchangeData.vhd
- SQLData.vhd
- FileData.vhd
1. Will this restrict my backup options in anyway? Hyper-V backup (host-level) backup the VM config as well as the VHD. The VM config will be stored on CSV1 with the OS VHD. Can I still backup the Hyper-V host properly with its disks on different VHDs.
2. Any recommendations or advice on whether this is standard?
3. Would I be better to just keep all VHDs (per VM) on the same CSV and not split them?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
