Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for suggestions on proper allocation of hardware to VM's for a new server I just got approved for. The server is an HP DL830 with 40GB Ram, Dual Xeon Processor and 8 drives in Raid 10 configuration. It should give me about 1100GB of HDD space. I'm starting out running 2 VM's under Hyper-V. One will be AD, DNS, DHCP. The second will be File / Print server. I was thinking 8GB for the AD Server and 16GB for the File Server. The extra would be for future expansion of VM's. Is this too much memory or just right? What would you suggest for the HDD space allocation? If there is any question then feel free to ask.
Thanks
