Hi. I know this is an often asked (and answered question), but hoping for a quick reminder and validation of what I found elsewhere. Besides, it's been quite a while since I've done a SQL install.
I need to install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a VM with shared storage. I have only C, D, and L available to me. I know to isolate user databases on D:, and tran log files on L: Is there a reason not to install all binaries and shared files on C:? Can I put all databases files (including system and user databses) in the same folder on D:, and all tran logs (including system and user logs) in the same folder on L:? Or should I separate system files from user files? Should I push the storage guy for a separate LUN/volume for tembdb database, or is that no longer necessary with shared storage?
Thanks!
