  Hi cyberaxe,

  how do you mean "access the host RAID5 array" ?

  If you want to use space from the RAID5 volume from host you can create dedicated volumes/disk which you then can present via passtrough (disk is offline from host view) to your VM or you create a volume/disk/partition on host system and create the required fixed VHD files directly on top of the volume/disk/partition as usuall.

  More details around your storage cababilities can you find at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tvoellm/archive/2008/09/24/what-hyper-v-storage-is-best-for-you-show-me-the-numbers.aspx and http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tvoellm/archive/2007/10/13/what-windows-server-virtualization-aka-viridian-storage-is-best-for-you.aspx

  Here is a good whitepaper around the differences and performance of VHD files -> http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tvoellm/archive/2010/02/27/windows-server-2008-r2-virtual-hard-disk-vhd-performance-paper.aspx

  Hi,

   

  In Windows Server 2008 R2, the performance of the fixed VHD disk and the physical disk is slight, so you may consider using fixed VHD for your VMs. With fixed VHDs, you will get both performance and flexibility.

   

  The following post discussed the similar issue, you can refer to:

  Best Regards,
