Running SQL 2008 on a VM
- by chris.w.mclean
We are pondering trying to set up a SQL 2008 instance inside a VM for a production environment.  All our SQL instances use iSCSI over gigabit ethernet to talk to a NAS, as would this new instance.  Any reason this is a bad idea or any considerations to make this work well?  The VM would be running in Xen 5.5 or we could set it up in Hyper-V if there's a compelling case for that.  And the VM's VHD would be stored on a different NAS then the SQL storage is on.
