Sure! Here is a good place to get started: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-13249

If you search for ‘SQL Server’ on the VMWare site you will find a handful of similar docs as well.

I have access to additional docs as a result of being a partner, and I’m not certain which ones are OK to share publicly. I will double check and if I find something that I can share I can make it available here as well.

It would be nice to see some links to these hardware guides and other SQL Server docs from VMware. Can you post them here? Thanks…

Don,

Yes, I suspect that is the case here as well, as I have come across some very good documentation from VMWare regarding SQL Server previously.

If you look at the vmware website, and look for technical papers, there are some decent guides written by Netapp and EMC that are more compehensive than what VMware have produced themselves.
