ESX 5- VM Disk and Lun Setup

HI All,

  I have 5 TB SAN Storage ( HP 4000 LeftHand Two Nodes (24 Disks Raid 5) and I got following VM's

High I/O VM's:

  1 x Exchange Server required 700GB  VM ( 4 Databases)

  1 x SQL Server -300 GB

Mid I/O VM's

    2 x Xenapp Server - 100GB each

Low I/O  Vms

   10 x VMs - 100 GB each

1. What is the best way to create LUNS Size and allocate?(  Need the Luns to replicate to DR Site 500GB LUNS?)

2.  How do i setup disks in VM?  ( OS Disk Lun) ( Data Lun ) ( SWAP LUN)

3. Can one SWAP Lun is ok with 250GB?

4. What is the  recommended OS Disk size for Windows 2008?

5. Page files?

6 I'm using Veeam to backup these VM's and they make snapshot before the backup so do i need a seperate LUN for that?

Thanks,

AS
