I've been a desktop Drivepool user for about a year, and a Windows Home server user since 2008. I've just migrated my WHS 11 VM to a Windows server essentials 19 server VM using several VHD / VHDX files as Virual disks which I've run since 2011 on my WHS VM.
My VM Host Server is WIndows 10 Pro running hyper-V , intel I7-4700, 8GB RAM, Rocket Raid 2680 raid controller with 4 x Raid 1 Arrays
I've read on this forum that I can run Drivepool in a VM and I've tried it and it runs. I've seen many run Drivepool in a VM with pass-through disks. But I'd like to run drivepool in my VM with a JBOD of multiple VM's and VHX's so I can maximise disk space. Just like WHS 1.
I've done a wee test and it seem ok with a loss of about 5% on throughput.
My questions are 1) has this been done successfully by anyone ? 2) is it supported ? and 3) is there any reason why I shouldn't do this ?
