Hello everyone, Which solution is better for backup for my scenario? I have 12 ESX hosts (with 4.1 and 4.0 versions) connected on a Storage trough ISCSI and we have another Storage that is FCB. What we want to do is to use a physical server to do this middle-field, connecting the server on the ISCSI and FCB Storage. We can't connect the ESX hosts on the FCB Storage, so I think we need a proxy server, like vCB, to do this. But since vCB is not in use anymore and will not work with 5.1 version. (we'll migrate in the beginning of the next year). I read about vDR but it's integrate with vCenter and our vCenter is a virtual machine, so it's not connected to FCB storage. If I put our vCenter in a physical machine can I configure it to access both storage? Thanks.
Hi,all, Now,i have a problem that the virtual guest os on esxi 5 will power off when it starts to desktop.But i can't found the reason.Could anyone help me?
Hello, I need a guide to install PCNS on an ESXi or ESX 5. Anyone have a guide on how to make it work? I could install PCNS correctly. Thank you very much.

I have a little bit of knowledge in working with VMware but I am still learning. I am trying to learn the performance aspects to better troubleshoot issues and optimize resource usage. We have a new Server 2008 R2 server with 32GB of RAM and it runs SQL 2008 R2. When we originally set it up, vSphere was showing ~25% usage while the OS showed ~50% usage. Since we had RAM to spare, we allocated some more to SQL. Now vSphere shows ~35% usage and the OS shows ~84% usage. Also, under the summary tab it shows 2.5GB active guest memory. Im just wondering why there is such a discrepancy? Does the vSphere chart show usage to total host memory? If that is the case, the numbers showing would make more sense. Tony

Thanks so much I was looking at Qosmio X875-Q7291 big and beefy, I was thinking that the large HD I could put in many VM builds and clones for apps and such for later. I am taking my VCP5 class in the next week and my 64bit laptop just crash due to the video card. So I have that rush feeling. I got told there is a problem with linux and NVIDIA® GeForce card, maybe that problem is just for the Gamers. So I have to find a Laptop a small Busness could buy and sell to the VA, with all of the extras. I wonder if I should have them pay for my VM9 too? hmmm? Again Thank you guys so much for the reply great help!

The two laptops I talk about are Toshiba, my friend's laptop is a MacBook Pro. The thing with this is that the faster and newer the better, but sometimes could just not be necessary and will cost you more money when maybe (probably) with a not such a powerful piece, you could achieve the performance you need. I'm not a big fan of big disks drives, but if you need that amount of space...that always depends. I know that my next buy will be using ssd drives. The graphic card, I don't think that you will take profit of it in a virtual enviroment. I think that for this question, you could have as many answers as users in this community LOL Regards, elgreco81

Thank you for the reply, I am working the VA and plan on giving them what I need, CPU? Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM Processor? Memory? 16BG? too much? Video? Need to watch out for some, which is good/ thinking ATI? Hard Drive, 2-X1 TB? Like to give a range on the CPU mostly INTEL with Hardware Virtualization VT-x I was going to setup for my Linux class next (Red Hat and use it to for the job later)

Hi, Two video cards? I wouldn't know if that's necessary. I use my laptop as lab too. With one i5 and 8 GB of RAM I'm able to use at the same time (this was my last test enviroment) - 1 W2K8 with AD, Exhange 2012, DNS and DHCP - 2 Red Hat 6 with Zimbra servers on them - 1 Ubuntu with a postfix distribution which served me as a relay All of this running over my workstation 8 over my Fedora. It's true that the machines didn't have a high load but they worked just great. Other times (in other laptop with less processor and only 4GB) using other kinds of labs, I had some performance issues with my hard drive. A friend of mine was also having this occasionally poor performance due to hard drive...but since he changed his hard drive to a SSD now is so fast ...wow...incredible!!! Never heard anything of problems with more than 8GB configurations. Where did you hear/read that? I was also considerating having a new PC (this time and finally a Desktop one ) and I was thinking of 16GB of RAM as I want to start testing more demanding solutions like 2 esxi hosts with one openfiller and vCloud and Networking and Security...yes...all at the same time LOL. Anyway, I hope I helped you Regards, elgreco81
Im actually using a Dell E6520 and it works just fine for a small test environment. Ive been testing ESXi 5 and vSphere with no issues. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve.

I believe I need a new computer for class, my 64 bit is having problems so I am taking suggestions. Please! I want to use this on my next assignment also so it's not just for Workstation. VMWARE classes Red Hat plus server stuff. I was thinking of something with min of 2 hard drives 16 Gigs of memory or more (heard VMWARE crases with anything over Quad CPU Intel dual video cards Maybe a gameing machine? Alienware? Dell XPS (high end) Not a fan of HP Any help I would share with other Vets who may take this also.

Hello All, Can anyone piont me in the right direction to what should be maxiumum "Highest Latency" that is reported back from vsphere that would be considered acceptable before disk performance would be adversely affected on the host machines? We get figures back of 16.980ms, we notice disk access seems to be sluggish. I read in another post that anything over 15ms is considered high, would this be the case? Our disk storage is from a SAN stoage system. Any information would be helpful or even point me in the right direction to some chart performance guide. Thanks J

Hi All, I am newbie to this VMware group and first time to post question, thanks in advance for any reply. I am testing product for support FLR and not sure what current limitation on VMware FLR VDR 2.0. Does VDR support for disk multiple partitions? LVM group multiple disks? does it display content of mount point to ext3,ext4 disk. Regards
Using templates is probably the smoothest way for you. Have a look at http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc_50/GUID-F40130B0-0194-4A41-91FA-1A967721924B.html

Hello Everybody, I am new to ESXI 5.0 and vSphere 5.0. (Infact I am new to this totally. Till date I have used only VMware Workstation.) I have a new brand server kit with ESXI 5.0 installed and Vmware vSphere 5.0 client installed. I can connect to server kit. There is nothing created in inventory. Fresh start up. My Requirement: I have 5 different teams which need Clean windows 7 X64 and Clean windows server 2008 R2 X64 for their respective work. I do not want to create "new machine" every time i.e. 5 Win 7 and 5 Win server2k8 machines. What should I do? What is best practice you expert suggest? How should I manage these 10 virtual machines? Also please share the basic documentation to learn this. Thanks a lot in advance.
