One of the mentioned features is the ability to have your VMs stored on a SMB share. They say this means you can have high-availability without depending on a traditional iSCSI style SAN. So, I tried it. It works! I have a Server 8 Hyper-V VM running off of a Windows Server 2008 SMB share for both the VM files and the hard disks! But this made me wonder: Can you do this with the Hyper-V on Server 2008 R2? Or is that a big "no-no", only supported in the new version? --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
