    500 Million ASUS Motherboards. The Celebration Starts at [H]. - Lucky Draw

    I've used ASUS motherboards and graphics cards for the past 2 generations because they offered the best features I was looking for in comparison to the competition (the little things, like Intel NICs and half decent BIOS interfaces).

    Todays learning: VMware HA - need to buy more ram

    HA is only designed to respond when a host becomes isolated, or becomes entirely unavailable (ie. fails). Removing a cable from a single NIC, unless as you say, it is the last NIC in the team that heartbeat traffic is traversing, will not do anything. Isolation being when a host cannot...

    ESXi 4.1 upgrade on hosts, keep vCenter 4.0

    Why not just start again with a new virtual vCenter? Short of reimporting the hosts and reconfiguring any cluster settings, the only thing you'll lose is performance data.

    M$ refuses to support vmware environments?

    You need to escalate the matter to your TAM, if you have one. If not, escalate via the help desk person you were working with; at the very least they should not refuse support but ask you to replicate it on physical hardware.

    MD3000i Dualplex Controllers - Partial/No Redundancy

    So to clarify, RiDDLeRThC meets the target requirement, but not the HBA requirement, so the datastores are still considered "Partial/No Redundancy"? To meet the HBA requirement, you're saying that he'd need to move to 2 hardware iSCSI initators, as even having path redundancy with a software...

    Step 2: Passed the VCDX Design Exam

    Congratulations once again dude. Have you seen the new roadmap for VCDX4? I think the addition of the VCAP is nice as it did seem like a big jump between VCP and VCDX - this way there is immediate recognition of passing the more advanced exams.

    Took the VCDX Enterprise Exam the other day....

    Congratulations, dude. I must admit I was put off VMware tests a bit when I did my VCP3; I found a lot of the questions irrelevant or (intentionally?) vague and misleading. I think a technical exam should be exactly that, something that tests technical ability. Either way, I got it...not...

    XP mode and malware

    Assuming you have all the obvious integration features disabled and there are no exploitable security holes in the hypervisor, you run the same risk as if the VM were another machine on your network (depending obviously how your networking is setup) if one were to be compromised.
