How to partition disk space for hypervisor?

Question

Virtualization

There is a server with ssd for 250 + hdd, it is planned to roll a hypervisor onto it on which there will be a CD on the virtual machine and maybe something else, how to better allocate disk space, the number of users is about 100. Tell me how it is better, or in general how with disks for the hypervisor be?) Hypervisor (esx or xen)

Answer 1

ESXi is best put on a flash drive and booted from it, a slight change in the config will be required in terms of redirecting the recording of logs (so that they are not written to the flash drive).
The installer supports this feature.
Thus, all disk space is given to virtual machines. ESXi itself reads the flash drive only at the boot stage.

Answer 2

Put hyper on SSD, specify in the settings that the hyper swap and VM memory are stored on the SSD. Give the HDD for VM files - let the hyper mark it up as it sees fit.
If there is a USB connector on the server's mother - now many do this - then put a small flash drive there, hyper roll onto it, logs, hyper swap and VM memory - on SSD
