I am looking to install a new SQL Server on our Virtual Infrastructure. What would be best practice in setting this up? For example number of Processors/Sockets, RAM and Hard Drive Partitions.
I can probably allocate up to 64GB RAM to the server but I have read in some places that this can actually affect performance.
We currently have HP Lefthand P4000 Storage nodes. Should the partitions be setup on separate LUN's or in one big pool?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
