So last night I waisted 7 hours of my life that I will never get back because some twunt specified an ESX host with 64 GB of memory and 43GB of local drive space. The clowns that administer the servers have gone nuts with RDM's all over the place and so moving the server changed from a little click on the vstorage migrate button to LUN maps are us catastrophe. Im fuming that I just had to waist 60GB of SAN LUN just to mount a datastore large enough to open the VMkernel swap files across my SAN Fabric.
Whats others perceived wisdom for placement of swap files? If I was building a Unix Host I would always include cheap local disks that were big enough to cater for all the swap in the world then boot from San. Last place I would want swap files was clogging up my fabric while sitting on a raided mirrored LUN
