Hi Team,
we are planning to have 2 node windows cluster in primary DC and running SQL multiple Failover instance. We have plan to have standalone SQL 2014 (not part of SQL Failover cluster) running multiple Instances in DR. We will have AG between primary SQL and secondary replica in DR.

Just wanted to check what is recommended for Standalone SQL Server in DR, should it be RDM (Raw disk directly to SQL as LUN) or vdesk and then add them as secondary disks to VM? What is recommended for DR with AG replica for IOPS or performance wise? Any pointer will be appreciated ?
Infrastructure is VMWare.
