Hi
We are planning to implement VMM 2012 R2 along with SCCM & SCOM (we already have SCCM & SCOM 2007, so this will be side by side up-gradation / migration). All these roles will be installed on 2 X Dell PE R610 physical / host servers (2 X 2.66 CPUs' with 6 core each -total 12 cores- with 64 GB RAM with 2 port HBA card). The host servers will be configured with Windows 2012 R2 std, the servers will be in Cluster with Hyper V enabled. All system center servers will be virtual servers with Windows 2012 R2 OS. The 3rd party implementation team suggested 2 options
a) Install 2 X SQL server in guest cluster with 2 instances, 1st instance is for SCCM/SCOM and VMM DBs and second instance for reporting databases. Prepare 3 other virtual servers for SCCM / SCOM and VMM
b) Prepare 3 Virtual servers for SCOM/ SCCM and VMM and configure SQL locally on all 3 servers.
We would like to know your expert opinion / suggestion before taking a decision on implemetion
Thanks in advance
