I am planning to setup a virtualized environnement, where WSE 2012 R2 will run within a VM, on top of an hypervisor.
Both Hyper-V and ESXi offer the capability to directly attach a physical HDD to a VM: in this case the HDD is not seen by the host anymore (ie the hypervisor), but is seen by the guest. It would appear, at least with ESXi, that this is really a passthrough mechanism, so the SMART data of the drive are accessible (need to check on Hyper-V).
I'm curious (although I will test it anyway), as anyone ever tested this ?
