Hyper-V Configuration Questions (hard drives, partitions, etc)

-

hey guys, general question i'm trying figure out best way go optimizing hyper-v performance setup have. in no way enterprise environment type of thing, running standalone server @ home.

anyhow, , running ok i'm sure it's not optimal... here setup:

server 2012 w/ hyper-v
8-core processor
32gb ram 1866mhz
hard drive 1 - ssd 100gb
hard drive 2 & 3 - 1tb each in hardware raid 0

i have 8 vm's running on raid drives , os (c:\) on ssd. vms windows 7 pro machines , 1 of them has sql server running on it.  what did made raid drives d:\ partition , in there hyper-v folder houses vhdx files , stuff. snapshots , server backups go external usb 3.0 drive connected server.

question (and don't mind purchasing ssd's or hard disks if have to) should configure of different? should have vm vhdx files in own separate directories on different drives or that?  just looking straight forward optimal way of utilizing have it's full potential. can change raid if need be.

thanks.

hi,

when create snapshot, every write operation vm goes snapshot file, using usb media might not best option this.

if loose 1 disk of vm raid, data gone. never vm data , purchase 1 additional disk , create raid-5 redundancy. also, add ssd raid1 of system-disk.

the directory structure of vhdx files irrelevant.

regards,

benedict
