Question about ESX 3.5 Foundation Version

[markus_herbert]

I have several questions about ESX 3.5 Foundation Version:

- Are the numbers of virtual machines restrected on a host, running esx 3.5 Foundation version?

- Is there a restriction using FC/iSCSI/NFS for storing vm's?

- Is there a 8 GB Memory Limit as in ESX 3.0 Starter Kit?

- I've read that a VCenter Agent is included in the Foundation Verstion - so can I adminstrate the Foundation over VCenter (without using HA, VMotion and DRS, of course)

Thanks for any reply

1. No

2. No- I am using local storage for mine but have used FC for testing purposes

3. No. I am currently running 16GB in 8 Foundation hosts

4. Yes, you simply add host and your are off and running.
