Hi Josh26,
Thanks for your reply.
My bad, I have read so many documents recently regarding clustering and vmware I have confused myself! It was more a case that the original designer of the vmware/exchange environment wanted to keep the same design as previous only on vmware with windows 2008.
I know that to get this into service they will pick up on the pagefile not being 1.5x memory or memory+10mb not being induced but hey ho can only try and see what they come back with.
Thanks for your help
Dave
