Hello,
I have been using VMWare server for about a year and I'm now ready to move to a more enterprise version. I'm currently evaluating ESXi (through the Free version).
So far I have been very happy with the tools provided to migrate the VMs from VMWare Server 2 VM to ESXi and very please with ESXi in general BUT, I'm facing the following issues (in order of importance to me)
1. Can't get VM to start/stop with the system. This is my config... am I missing something ?? I waited and waited on reboots and no VM ever started.
2. When I create a new vKernel for Management in a new vSwitch using my secondary NIC the MAC address associated with the Management port is a VMWare generated MAC and not the physical NIC's MAC. This is unlike what I can see that was autogenerated in vSwitch0, Management Port by the installer where this one has the physical MAC.
3. I seem to loose the AD users I have manually added as ESXi admins (using Add Permission on the host) on reboot of the host. Additions are not persistent ??
Thanks for your help.
JB
