    I wanted to understand the difference in setting up the Always on high availability feature on Physical infrastructure Vs Virtual environment ( VMWare ESX).

      I am not so sure what you are aiming at... The setup is pretty much the same....

        I have used Hyper-V machine to setup AlwaysOn. I created 5 machines: 1 DC, 4 Nodes.

        It was a smooth process. What is the error you are facing?

          Hi Satish,

          from an Always On point of view the setup is exactly the same.

          Regards

            There is no diff  wrt to AlwaysOn. however, there are some limitations about the # of CPUs that the SQL can recongize between physical and virtual servers.
