Question Regarding CSVs and Windows Server 2012


hello,

i running 4 host windows server 2012 hypervisor failover cluster environment , know thoughts on using multiple csvs (5 or more) store vhds.

i have researched windows server 2012 not necessary use 1 csv per vhd in previous versions of windows server. have 12 csvs (1 csv hosts vms , os vhds), while other csvs host vhds hold specific data. 

is alright have many csvs or should move data few? 1 csv departmental data vhds , 1 csv vms , os vhds?

what total number of csvs host cluster can work with?

please advise , thank in advance,

no need many csvs.  can single csv , work fine.  if need more luns io purposes, add csv.

there lot of personal preferences in how many csvs have.  people have @ least many csvs have nodes in cluster , try balance ownership among nodes.    people make csvs large possible.  make csvs size allows complete recovery within recovery window.

as can see, there lot of different views.  no single, correct, answer fits every situation.  however, 12 csv 4 node cluster seems adding additional management may not necessary.
