This is OT but can I ask what the reasons were for doing that? Business, technical or both?
I'm working on a consolidation project and we've had several heated discussions around whether to adopt a common platform approach with our SQL DBs on the same storage as the Hyper-V VMs.
We've reached a consensus now and we're going for all the eggs in one basket with a view to using Priority Optimization so I'd be interested to hear your experiences and what has driven you to split out your workloads.
Thanks
The big reason for moving databases to a dedicated 7400 was remote copy. We had about 300 Remote Copy groups and with all the volumes and the 3par having a limitation of only being able to replicate 20 volumes concurrently we had issues meeting our SLAs so by moving the DBs to the 7400 they replicate every 15 minutes, it is easy to meet SLAs without a large number of volumes hogging the 20 slots.
