We are running our VM's over NFS being served by a Netpp Filer, and the database and logs provided over Iscsi agina from a netapp filer, using the MS software Iscsi Initiator, apart from having to tweak the VM's to play nicely with the MS initiator, no problems.

Also, do you run your VM's off SAN/NAS? From: Greg Mulholland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2008 3:08 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2007 on VMWare in a live environment [Scanned] Same here multiple mailbox, ht, and cas all virtualised with ESX servers in different sites. Works a treat, as long as you do your planning with sizes and mailbox size particularly when dealing with large volumes of mailboxes. We are comparatively small exchange org as far as database sizes and mailbox numbers compared to those who have trillions of users! :p Greg From: Alex Fontana [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 21 October 2008 11:44 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Exchange 2007 on VMWare in a live environment [Scanned] Yup, entire production environment; ~9500 mailboxes, ~10TB of data. Couldn't be happier....well I could, but nothing to do with Virtualization.

I only have a userbase of around 70 with mailboxes of .5 - 1.5Gb (Spread over 2 stores). I've done some reading and found some positive writeups but I want some real world info!
