  Good morning all,

  I'm looking at implementing log shipping on two virtual servers running VMWare and SQL Server 2008 R2 (Standard) and attached to a SAN, does anyone know if I need to do anything different regarding permission levels for the SQL Server Service and Agent accounts (i.e. do I need to grant permissions on the physical host server/SAN and the virtual servers etc?).

  Thanks in advance for any help offered.

  You don't need to do anything different from what you would do with a physical server.

  spaghettidba is correct. There's nothing special about virtual servers v physical ones for the client connections.
