hi,

i'm gong to replace my exsisting main virtual environment (vsphere 6.5) storage to NIMBLE HF20H.

my infrastructure incluse MSSQL SERVER 2014, and i'd like to get the best performance from Nimble, what are the recomendation to that environment?

connect the sql disk with RDM to the Virtual host windows server with iscsi or create a volume with vmfs with sql policy and attatched it to sql as a vmdk?

Thanks,
Oren
