I am running 170 VMs on a Windows Server 2016 Datacenter 3 node Hyper-V Cluster connected via Fibre Channel to an all Flash Storage Array.
I will be creating a new VM for a SQL Server that we are migrating to a VM from an old physical box. I have been reading about using multiple SCSI adapters to split the paths for the VHDXs for each of the: host OS, SQL DBs, SQL Logs, and SQL TempDB onto
separate SCSI adapters to potentially increase performance. The VHDXs for this VM will be on a LUN from the storage array by themselves as it will need over 1 TB of space. According to my reading, it sounds like having multiple SCSI adapters can
potentially increase performance by being able to process IOPs more quickly as they split the load up in Windows. Generally speaking, at what level of IOPs would it make sense to split these VHDXs up onto different SCSI controllers? 500, 1000,
5000, 10000, etc. IOPS?
