We have had recommendations from MSFT to change our server power plan settings from balanced to high performance for servers running SQL Server. This is a virtualized environment using VMware 5.5. Our Windows/ESX team says that they have set the underlying host servers power plans to high performance and that they do not need to do it for a specific database vm server.
Can someone confirm to me if this is true? I can't find anything anywhere saying that for sure.
Thanks for any info.
