I was wondering if anyone had any real world experience on using the de-duplication features on the VNX 5300 datamovers on VMware datastores. I don't have a spectacularly large system, but as most of my vms are Server 2008r2, I would suspect there is a lot of duplicate data on the os volumes of...
Any chance you could release your images as a gallery/slideshow? I think you have some very neat stuff in there, and I wanted to thank you for taking your time to post it.
I didn't think I could live vMotion between logical Datacenters, but I wanted to check anyway. I thought you could do cold migrations thought. As for using the 2 clusters, same logical Datacenter, and using vDS, wouldn't all the networks that are creating vDS show up across the 2 clusters? I...
Yes and Yes.
I are working with just vCenter separated Datacenters not 2 different physical datacenters, the servers them selfs are in the same rack, and same layer 2 networks. IE
vCenter Server
|-PROD
| |-Cluster one
| |--host1
| |--host2
| |--host3
|-DEV/QA
|-DEV...
I was wondering if there was a better way of doing this then what im currently doing.
I have now have 2 Datacenters (one is now PROD, and the other is DEV/QA) in my vCenter server and I need to move some VM's between them. I thought about doing different clusters, but as we are using vDS...
We have deployed it in house, and for a few customers - They work great. As pointed out before they don't do fast roaming, so the time for switching to one ap to another is purely a device thing, some are fast, some are slower than others.
From what I remember of the best practise guide make sure you put some of your DAE's on the second SAS port, don't forget that things in the DEP use SAS port 0
Has anyone played with the VNX, NFS and fast tiering?
I have been trying to find information on it and all I can find so far is Coc.. err spec sheet waving going on between EMC and Netapp and I cant find anything about if fast tiering works with NFS and how well NFS works with the VNX 5300
I'm trying to decide if my expectations are to high for Windows Network load balancing and Exchange CAS. Right now when I fail a CAS server, Outlook goes into disconnected mode, and requests a password, I can ether enter in the password, or close and reopen outlook and it connect without any...
I was taking about the DB that you need for vSphere management server thing (cant remember the name right now)
I did think of that, and I'm more than likely going to go that way, but I am still going to try clustering anyways as it will give me more knowledge when I say no lets do it this way.
