Dear all,
I am the middle of the design of a vmware platform.
Situation now: 70 virtual machines running on 1 Datacenter, 1 Cluster. 1 Resource pool created for testing with limited resources. All running on 8 ESX servers.
I need to implement a new platform and extend virtual machines with another 10 mostly database servers running on another 8 ESX Servers.
Database virtual servers will be hosted on dedicated RAID10 iSCSi solution, all other machine will be hosted on RAID50 iSCSI Solution.
Any suggestions about clusters and resource pools?
Can I add the new 8 ESX Servers in the existing cluster and still only use one resource pool? (easy management)
Is it better to create a new cluster especially for the database servers? (separation of functionalities)
Can I vmotion between clusters? (important for initial migration)
Is it better to create a new resource pool especially for the database servers?
Any advice really appreciated.
Kind regards,
Kenny
