Hi guys!
After small discussion with Vlad Catrinescu regarding my question he advised me to create this discussion 🙂
I have my home desktop:
CPU: i7 3770k(4 cores 8 threads )
RAM: 32GB(1600MHZ)
HDD: 6xhdd in RAID0 (because of test- no need RAID10 or RAID5 –need the fastest one 🙂 )
I’m trying to build my test machine for learning.
I’d like to have :
2xWPE on MS Server 2008 R2
1xAPP(+Cluster Witness) on Server 2008 R2
2xSQL2012 (fail over cluster) on Server 2008 R2
1x Exchange 2013 on MS Server 2012
The questions are:
1.What is best practice to share my resources(RAM, CPU) between VMs.
2. What minimum resources I need to leave for Host OS MS Server 2008R2
All applications SharePoint2010, SQL2012, Exchange2013 and OS 2008/2012 are free trial evaluation 180days.
Leave your suggestions/ ideas….. 🙂
Thank you!
I would honestly drop the SQL cluster and bump up the RAM on the SharePoint VMs, then drop from 3 SharePoint servers down to 2 (1 WFE, 1 App). You’ll get better performance out of SharePoint.
