I'm creating a virtual machine for a windows app that requires 3 volumes: C: O/S (10g), D: Application (10g), E: Data (50g).
To optimize performance on a physical machine, I would create a mirror set for the O/S, another mirror set for the application and a RAID 5 set for the data.
What is the best way to do this on a virtual machine?
Should I create a single 70g disk file and partition it within the O/S to meet my needs, or create 3 seperate disk files, one for each volume.
Which is the better way to go? Is there a pro or con to either method or is it simply a matter of preference?
