My machine has 4 600gb drives in 2 RAID 1 pairs
Plan to use Open SUSE as the host OS -- not installed yet.
I plan to use Workstation to set up quite powerful Windows Server 2012 SE VMS and some smaller LAMP VMs
What partinioning scheme should I set up?
The system has 96GB ram and two X5690's
I am thinking
--30 GB for SUSE
--100GB for swap space --- but do I need that at the host level or does Workstation handle that with the space allocated to each VM?
(I plan to be conservative with memory overcommitment)
---Leave the rest unpartitioned for now.
I am a newbie at all this so any guidance would be helpful.
