    haha yeah, sorry for triple posting :D

    Thanks, I'll go with UFS

    Guest File System for ZFS backed datastore?

    Well, I would prefer to use UFS, but I need to know if my VM data would still be protected by ZFS. I guess it doesn't really matter? For e.g. Windows guests you wouldn't have any other option than using FAT or NTFS, so...

    Guest File System for ZFS backed datastore?

    I'm building a all-in-one ESXi box and have a question about what filesystem to use for my guest VM's. The VM's are stored in a NFS mounted datastore in ESXi. This storage is backed by ZFS. I'm installing some FreeBSD VM servers and wonder if I should use UFS or ZFS for the VM's. Do I...

    CPU to run 20-30 VM on ESXi (6 vs 12 cores)

    Yes, this all-in-one solution might not be for everybody, but for our needs and budget it's perfect.

    CPU to run 20-30 VM on ESXi (6 vs 12 cores)

    Thanks for this info, sounds like a good thing to do. I'll do some research on this.

    CPU to run 20-30 VM on ESXi (6 vs 12 cores)

    Well this is more like a proof-of-concept. If this (ESXi + all-in-one) works for us we're adding another one for redundancy/balancing. The data is not critical at the moment and we are a startup with low budget.

    CPU to run 20-30 VM on ESXi (6 vs 12 cores)

    Thanks for the observation Yes, I'm aware that with one CPU I can only use half the RAM slots and even half the PCI-E slots (on this particular MB). So I'll start by filling 4 slots with 64 GB so that I can fill 4 more slots later without having to add another CPU (or replace current RAM).

    CPU to run 20-30 VM on ESXi (6 vs 12 cores)

    thanks guys for all the info and help! I'll start with one SSD mirror together with one ZIL (Intel S3700). CPU & RAM: I'm going to buy the Supermicro X9DRI-F/X9DR3-F. It has 2 x CPU sockets (2011) and 16 x RAM slots. Since I'm only gonna run 15 vm on day one, I'll start with one single CPU...

    CPU to run 20-30 VM on ESXi (6 vs 12 cores)

    Thanks guys, I will definitely go with more cores... Got a couple of questions for you _Gea :) Yes it's a single all-in-one. Two smaller boxes sounds like a very good idea though. I will consider that. I was thinking of 3x mirrors to maximize the write I/O. Do you think I will be fine...

    CPU to run 20-30 VM on ESXi (6 vs 12 cores)

    Thanks. We will use 6 x Samsung 840 Pro SSD's in a striped mirror (3 x 2) with a HBA-flashed IBM ServeRaid m1115. Do you think we'll get enough IOPS? The databases are not for production. Only for development and QA.But from time to time we would like to do some performance and stress testing...

    CPU to run 20-30 VM on ESXi (6 vs 12 cores)

    Hey guys, I'm building an all-in-one ESXi host for virtualizing all the servers we need for our small business (startup) as well as hosting our test and QC environments for a web application we're developing. I need some help choosing the right CPU setup for our needs. Option 1...
