      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;The way you could avoid wasting 10G cards would be to set both cards to active/active on a vswitch, while setting up VMKernels for each service, Management, IP Storage, and vMotion. If you have the licensing you can use NetworkIO control to ensure resources for ingress and egress traffic. However, if you do not have NOIC you can set outbound (egress) traffic shaping policies to limit the flow of IO through the cards.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;For applying only patches that pertain to security level, you will want to use vum and a custom baseline:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1.Go to Home&amp;gt;Solutions and Applications&amp;gt;Update Manager&amp;gt;Baselings and groups&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. Right click in Baslines window&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. Name it $whatever$ and ensure that Host Patch is sleceted in baseline type&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4. Type dynamic&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;in Criteria you will want to have it looking something to the attached photo.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Exclude anything you don't want(note the screenshot shows all security, even low to moderate) and finish out the wizard. From there on it is just attaching the baseline to the hosts and clusters needed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Personally I would say apply 5.1 U3 unless there is strong reasoning not to, there are multiple performance tweaks that can help, as well as other optimizations done to vCenter and the Web Client.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Since the HW will change the Key will prompt you, normally you will have a 30 day grace period to re enter or reactivate windows on the virtual machine&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) Not necessary in any P2V I have done&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3) No&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4) Generally you should use ESXi(free) for hosting your servers and services but Workstation 9 or 10 can host them as well as player, VMware server is no longer supported by vmware or Converter.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The important thing to note if you plan on using player or workstation instead of ESXi, is to make sure the proper hardware version is selected. If using workstation or player, generally you want ESXi 5.x (hardware version 9)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;VMware treats the execution of sockets and cores the same, the difference will come into play with licensing and how the underlying OS/Applications may handle processing based on Cores vs. Sockets.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Again you should only assign what vCPU's are needed for best performance; over allocation of too many vCPU's will actually hurt performance more so than helping it. This is due to the fact the underlying hardware might be to far over provisioned, causing contention issues.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;It should work, however if it is officially supported or not is another thing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just make sure you select the correct Storage adapter, such as the LSI Logic, instead of the SAS or Paravirtual options; you also may want to select HW version 8 or 9.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>Re: How do I install a guest OS on ESX5.5 - it will not boot to ISO file</title>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ensure that the CD/DVD drive is connected at boot&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Close the vsphere client and reopen it sometimes you will get stuck with "connecting"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Recreate the VM&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Additionally you could connect to the host directly and attempt to boot and install the VM through there.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;You should be able to go straight from ESXI 4.1 to 5.1 Update 2.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, you should check to make sure that the hosts are on the HCL for 5.1 and backup any configurations before upgrading.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
