What is the best way to create VM's with 20 physical servers?

[Keyvan Shahrdar]

Trying to setup redundant vm's that can be segmented into different networks. What is best configuration?

I am a newbie and I am working in this DataCenter where the lead engineer quit.

You need much more info than that, for starters, what hypervisor is being used?

There's more knowledgeable people on this forum for this, questions to start you off though:

How many VM's?

Estimated resources required for VM's?

What's the server hardware being used?

Currently we have 30 vms.
Need Linux, windows
Using rackmount HP servers with eight drives

Best case is the ability to run N+1 config. Which means to figure out how much server resources are required, then add 1 more server for failover.

1. CPU's / cores required to run the VM's
2. RAM requirements
3. Storage requirements
4. networking requirements

Use VLAN's to separate networks.

Data Center HA configurations are complex, use google and be prepared to learn.
