iSCSI Target for Virtual SQL-Server
Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2010 12:50 pm
I have two virtual servers for my test environment (Guest operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2)
I want to install SQL2008 on these servers and I need a second partition as data-drive for SQL which should be an iSCSI-Target.
My iSCSI Target Server (Starwind V5) has an external SCSI storage system with 2TB disk space which I have reserved for the SQL-Server.
Is it better to create a 2TB Image or to connect the initiator directly to the physical disk - is there a performance difference.
What kind of connection would be better for a SQL-Server
