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 did it! 🙂
I bought 256GB SSD Samsung 840 PRO (250$). Thank you Trevor for great article http://www.expta.com/2013/04/updated-blistering-fast-hyper-v-2012.html. realy helped me.
Steps:
1.Installed MS Server2012 datacenter – issues with raid controler, bus….can’t find drivers for my motherboard- offitialy does not support Server2012. Tried to put drivers for Win8, Win7 nothig. So, Server 2012 wasn’t work for me. 🙁
Installed Windows 8 and enabled Hyper-V feature.
Created VMs:
1x WFE 4 cores, 6GB RAM, 50GB on SSD
1x APP 4 cores, 6GB RAM, 50GB on SSD
1x SQL 8 cores, 8GB RAM (limitted RAM for SQL instance to 5014MB),50 GB on SSD
1x EXCH 4 cores, 4GB RAM, 35GB on SSD
DC 2 cores, 2GB RAM, 50GB on RAID 10(4hdd)
Any sugestions to change it? I’m not sure about cores. But it seems to work good. SSD is going great job.
Thank you!
