    Whitebox ESXI 5.1 Hardware Recommendation

    If it seams like the system is lagging, then go ahead and apply some light voltage and frequency modifications, but chances are you won't need to over clock. I used to use an i3 running at 3ghz with the same amount of machines that I do now and I never had a problem. Esxi isn't too processor...

    Whitebox ESXI 5.1 Hardware Recommendation

    I currently run an asrock xtreme11 z68 board and a 3770 i7, and it supports vt-d and runs great with 24gb of ram. Fortunately this board has an lsi hba that has 8 ports. I assign 2cores to everything, and all servers get 4gb of ram. I can tell you the ivy bridge processors are supported, and...

    Cleaning up some coax runs

    DO NOT MIX CABLES BETWEEN CAT 3 AND CAT 5E/6. category 3 cables have a different twist rate then cat 5e/6. Coax also operates on different resistance ratings, with rg59 and rg6 running at 75 ohms of resistance. Others have different resistances and capacitance. Leave the phone lines alone and...

    Random wireless issue

    That looks like the problem. For WiFi try to use something that has either wireless-n or 5ghz bandwidth

    IO Frustrations with ESXi Box

    You could have a raid0 array, then when you get the fourth HDD, turn it into a raid 10. Just use the 3rd drive as is for now.

    Why use virtualisation in a scenario where everything could run on one server anyway?

    And not to mention, you can have a specific raid array for the DNS, DC, and VPN, and use a larger array for things such as file storage, print server, and other VMS that you have for testing and dev. I personally use 4 60gb HDD in raid 10 for DNS, DC, and VPN, and then 4 1tb HDD for everything else.

    Moving from ESXI free to vSphere/vCenter?

    You can also simply add the license key through the view client and apply it for the new features

    Proposed 144TB V-Unraid Build

    Vmware doesn't really use too much resources, but its not needed and would add possibly unneeded complexity. But at the same time if he really wants it then we can keep him from it, its just not needed.

    Critique my Home Network Setup

    The support is based on the router that you plan on using. What build was it, because the latest build is 10020, or version 24. I use the wndr4500 and its finally a work in progress

    Install ESXi on USB or local storage

    For cases like this I wonder if there is a way to clone USB drives so you can drop one in to replace a dead stick

    Help jumping into Virtualization

    At least he admits its for testing and not self-use. Lol

    Proposed 144TB V-Unraid Build

    Kind of. If the hypervisor fails though, you can reinstall the hypervisor and add the disks and vm's back into inventory though. Though you could always put the drives into a workstation to collect the data, but it only helps for files, not the OS.

    Inactive guest stays that way after reboot ESXi

    Have you tried right clicking, and then reconnect?

    IO Frustrations with ESXi Box

    I would personally recommend raid 1 or 10, but that's just me. Only because if one of the three disks fail, all your work goes with it.
