RE: Running Subversion on a Windows VM

Chris,

We run our subversion repository on Win2003 in a VM container without incident. I run multiple subversion services on different ports as windows services as well as serving it out through apache. We have about 5 subversion services (to keep the repositories and users separate from one another) and have a total of about 20 users, of which maybe 10 are located in the Bay Area the rest are offshore in India. As far as I know we haven't had any problems which haven't been network related not subversion related.

Subject: Running Subversion on a Windows VM

Hey all,
I am about to make some adjustments to the way we are hosting our subversion repository, but I have some performance concerns in doing so. I know there were a couple email threads posted on svn.haxx.se a while ago, but I didn't really get what I needed from them. Anyway, here is the scenario and what I would like to know:

I work in a mid-sized shop(20 devs) that is currently running Subversion 1.6 (as a windows service) on a Windows 2003 box right now, but the box itself is old and we are going to swap it out and use it for something else soon. So, there are arrangements being made on what to do with the repository... i.e. what to put it on next. I am also mirroring this primary repository to an off-site location with our production DR stuff. The thought is to spin up a Windows 2003 VM (hosted on one of our ESX boxes), move the primary repository over to it, and continue life as normal. I am a huge VM fan and should just know better probably, but are there any performance concerns I SHOULD have and investigate more into... Has anyone run things this way and stuck with it for a lengthy period? If so, what has your experience been... good... bad... no diff ?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
Chris
