Should my servers boot from VHD?
- by tony roth
I've been testing native vhd boot on several servers. It seems to be pretty transparent in terms of deployment and with my seat of the pants testing I have not noticed any difference in performance. The main reason that I want to boot vhd is due to their transportablility between different hardware and to hyper-v servers.
the following roles will be installed.
dfsr
dhcp
iis
application server
dc <- haven't tested this yet but see no reason why it won't work.
With the above low impact (in terms of performance) roles do you thing booting from VHD is appropriate.
thx
