SQL Server 2016 - Instalallation on Vmware

  • Good afternoon,

    I have to install SQL Server 2016 on a Virtual Machine 2016.

    My question is always the same : How partitionning disk ?

    This is what I have imagine but I'm not very sure. 

    What do you think ?   -------See Excel document ------

    Thank you
    Antonin

  • completely depends upon the ESX datastore config, are all the virtual disk files on the same datastore?

    Euh, I don't understand "little benefit"
    What do you think : 
    -  concerning use of this datastore ?
    - architecture concerning "big database"
    - architecture concerinng "little database"

    thank you

    you should use multiple data stores configured for I\O patterns that are relevant to the disks that are placed there
