5 Essential Tips for Maximizing Your Experience at Nutanix .NEXT for Bloggers
[user=9675]jlaunier[/user] This is the kind of info that is helpful. Our SQL Servers do not have any disks exposed, etc. There may be an issue with performance though on the Nutanix platform but I don't know. Maybe you can shine some light on it. I have read that their is a single OPLog per virtual disk which is one reason to implement multiple disks. I don't fully understand OPLogs yet, but perhaps this poses a an issue for us. We have about 10 DBs within our instance. Some busier than others of course. The current implementation uses individual disks for logs, data, and temp. Nutanix BP suggests IIRC up to 8 virtual disks depending on situation. Our Nutanix cluster is a Hybrid 1465 G6 with 1.92GBs SSD on each node. If I understand the OPLog function correctly, having a single data disk for all the Dbs could be a contention problem. With Move we could transfer to the Nutanix cluster and if needed add virtual disks where needed and move some of the DBs to them. We ar
Yes, I read that thread before my original post. All that is really indicated in regards to using Move to migrate SQL is that it doesn't allow for SQL design changes. Such as proper use of virtual disks, Files, etc. But really that has nothing to do with a straight V2V move. This has all lead me to believe there is no real technical issues in using Move to perform a SQL move from ESXi to AHV. And that Nutanix feels so strongly about the proper design of a SQL server that they will not comment on the feasibility of using MOVE to perform a straight V2V migration. IMHO that is sad. I should also say that I have reached out to Nutanix support for input on this question and was given a an answer of " follow best practices". I wasn't asked whether or not our SQL server was already designed following best practices. An Engineer giving an answer like that with no reasoning behind it is no help at all. Love my Nutanix Cluster, but frustrated with lack of solid product usage answer
