@scottalanmiller said in Multiple Virtual Disks and Application Performance:

Remember.... just because you are virtual does not imply that your storage is virtual, nor does virtual storage imply that the storage will be shared between workloads or VMs. None of that is implied or suggested in going virtual. You still maintain all proper storage management decision making when virtual as you did physical. You don't get to give any of that up.

In restrospect, I probably ought not have included the System Center Dude stuff in the discussion, since it seemed to just cause confusion about what I was curious.

You still maintain all proper storage management decision making when virtual as you did physical.

I believe this is the greatest takeaway from the discussion. Regardless if the environment is like the one I'm in where ultimately one physical storage device is hosting all of the virtual storage within the VMs.

There's a good bit of dysfunction going on, such as two weeks after starting to look into what's needed for configuration manager there's still no authoritative answer on "talk to this person to see what Microsoft licensing we have." 😛

I'm trying to get an idea of what's needed myself, and most of what I found is in relation to those who already have System Center and having current SA entitles you to Configuration Manager Current Branch.
