Just a thought but there's a lot of workstation level hardware that will run VMWare products, they may not be on the HCL but they work.

I've been tasked with installing VMWare server on a client W2K8 server. Plan is to run one VM that will be a relatively sandboxed WWW/FTP server. Server that will be the host runs MS CRM and related SQL 2008. SQL is installed on C: but the datafiles are on D:. No spindle separation of logs/DB. (not my call) 12G pagefile is on D:. Plenty of disk space on C: and D:, 8 GB ram. C: is a 2-drive RAID1; D: is a 4-drive RAID5. I’m trying to decide where to put VMWare and the VM files for best performance. My google-fu is not getting the job done. Any recommendations for location or pointers to good documentation of this? Thanks.... *********************** Charlie Kaiser [email protected] Kingman, AZ *********************** ~ 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 CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: The information transmitted, or contained or attached to or with this Notice is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain Protected Health Information (PHI), confidential and/or privileged material.
