On VMWare if you are going to create a new SQL instance with 4 processors/32GB ram as an example GuestOS and I have access to storage that is just one a big giant 800GB "Datastore" (made up of multiple drives - dont know why it was done like that instead of separate smaller ones )
Would it make any difference in "VMware" if I asked the storage/vm admins to "carve" multiple mountpoint/volumes in my GuestOS from a performance perspective in VMware. So that I'd have a virtual C:, D:, E:, F:, G, etc.. to break up Win OS, Binaries, Data, Log, Tempdb, etc. Not sure if there are optimizations in VMWare that make a difference compared to Physical Host.
Thanks for input and comments!
