Drew, I can't talk directly regarding the problems BMC was talking about....but just from my own understanding, SQL Server is a very 'heavy' application...it requires lots of RAM and lots of CPU, typically virtualization would make an OS share those resources, which isn't 'best' for this type of application...any time you want something from a DB, you want it as fast as possible....won't be as good in virtual as it would with Physical...

Hello all, While helping use architect a new Remedy system, BMC suggested to NOT virtualize the MSSQL server, without giving any reasons except that there were "problems." Could I get some insight please? I would like to virtualize AR Server 7.1 and eventually 7.6 ITSM on a virtualized MSSQL server. What issues should I expect? Thank you in advance.
