asked on
guests on hosts and grouping
Is it common for guests on a specific host to be grouped based on the specific role they fulfil. I am not a server side admin but I got the mpression you typically host 10 guests on 1 ESXi host (??). I just wondered if its common to group "similar guests" (sorry for being so technical ;-) ) on a host, or can you essentially stick guests with zero commanility on the same host with no issues?
Is there any benefits in grouping similar guests on the same host or risks in not doing so - or not really?

Can each server in a domain fall into a specific "role", do you have a list of these roles as we are trying to put each server into a category for a risk assessment process. What roles/groups would you use/do you use for narrating your domain/network?

A typical domain would contain the following server roles:
1. DNS
2. Domain Controllers (FSMO roles distributed onto different servers)
3. DHCP server
4. File server/s
5. Print Server/s
6. Application Servers like email servers (exchange server)
7. DB servers
8. Perhaps with virtualization then you need terminal servers with all it's infrastructure servers like the licensing server
Usually 1, 2 and 3 are joined in 1 server. File and print servers can be together or when traffic to them is high might be separated. Usually app roles like Exchange for email are dedicated. Likewise DB servers are usually dedicated.
