I have a VM which is running SQL Server 2005 and has the following disks:
C: 30GB VMDK datastore1
😧 500GB RDM "Virtual Mode" datastore2
E: 10GB VMDK datastore1
OS/program files is on C: and SQL databases, program files and DB dumps are located on drive 😧
How does SMVI handle backing up Virtual Mode RDMs? I read that it doesn't work with physical mode but wasn't sure about virtual.
Should all of the disks be in the same ESX datastore? Otherwise I think this VM is going to get snapped twice and we could have to recover two different datastore/volumes for SFR.
P.S. SMSQL is not an option unfortunately.
