    EMC VNX5300 NFS deduplication and VMware Datastore

    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...

    A small datacenter build and other projects

    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.

    Migrating VM's between vCenter Datacenters.

    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...

    Migrating VM's between vCenter Datacenters.

    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...

    Migrating VM's between vCenter Datacenters.

    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...

    How do you guys like Unifi AP?

    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.

    Lets play the disk shuffle game!

    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

    Exchange 2010 CAS array with NLB

    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...

    MS SQL server clustering

    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.
