Pleased as punch!

Been a while since I've posted...

Rot had crept in...you know, you get tired of the work. But I am rejuvenated. We just started our new buildout, and damn, I'm excited about tech again! The first 6 blade cluster just went up, and it is amazing. We're using UCS blades, fronting v7000 storage. We built 250 vm's, while rebooting 100 vm's, while we worked in several more. 136,000 IOPS, all delivered at sub 6ms! Woot! We're replacing 3000 of our virtual desktops (will be 48 blades total), moving to the latest view on the latest ESX.  Hoping this happy continues, been burned out...really needed it!

Is there a chance that you used another account (williambishop) before?

Welcome back William!  I do think we had issues with some points about a year ago - lemme talk to the administrators about restoring yours.

Glad your new environment is giving you some happy juices Smiley Happy

Tell us about it?  How many hosts in the UCS cluster?  What storage is doing 136K IO @ 6ms?  10Gbe?  FC? FCoE?

Sure thing.

We're pushing it through 4x 8g FC links to a storwize v7000 to 4x6 node vmware UCS clusters, 5.1.

I'm actually stoked for the first time in years. We go production on it in a couple weeks, right now trying to kill it. We actually hit 156,000 IOPS on 2 luns. The further we get the replica into the SSD (hot tier), the better it's doing.

That should be possible. I'd suggest you send an email to community_mgr@vmware.com mentioning both accounts (account names, email addresses, ...) and tell them which of the accounts you want to keep.
