    What was the last game you got lost (engrossed) in?

    A good FPS will get me for the 6 - 8 hours it takes to beat them. Metro 2033 was the last one. I got so into Mass Effect 2 that I went and bought ME1 just so I can go through the trilogy with the one character. Go FemShep! Fallout 3, I don't want to know how many hours that thing ate. New...

    ESXi 4.1 SCSI DAS array performance issues.

    Infortrend support blows, you may have better luck with your vendor. I have attached a second SCSI cable to the second channel on the Infortrend and to our other ESXi host. The "Current Transfer Clock" on the second channel is 160 MHz but the actual performance is as bad or worse. I really...

    ESXi 4.1 SCSI DAS array performance issues.

    The firmware version is 3.47R.02 which I think is up to date for this device. Cheers Simon

    ESXi 4.1 SCSI DAS array performance issues.

    I haven't managed to get to the bottom of this yet, the array is finally out of production so I can sort this out. Below is a clip from resxtop +u (storage (disk) device resource utilization screen). I'm guessing a DQLEN of 4 and a QUED of 121 is not so good. Would increasing the...

    script to shutdown guest & host ESXi

    There are a few scripts floating around for this, most involve an open source application called apcupsd. Have a look at this thread to get you started: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1471178

    ESXi 4.1 SCSI DAS array performance issues.

    Thanks lopoetve. I have gathered the support files (VIclient --> File --> Export --> Export System Logs). It's 200MB, how can I get it to you? I can put it on our FTP if you like.

    ESXi 4.1 SCSI DAS array performance issues.

    I asked about this over in the storage section and got nothing, hope to have better luck here. The array is an Eonstor A16U-G2421 SCSI-SATA DAS system. I never expected stellar performace with this config but performance is unacceptable (to be polite). IOmeter results summarised below...

    Eonstor performance issues.

    We have an Eonstor A16U-G2421 SCSI-SATA enclosure. We have had it for a while without issues but it is in a new configuration and perfomance is terrible. IOmeter is reporting 22-24 MBs. The Eonstor enclosure is attached to the server via an Adaptec 39320A SCSI HBA which is configured...

    Apc setup in ESX production environment

    We use an open source utility called apcupsd to manage the UPS. It's installed in one machine connected to the UPS and a second vMA machine. In the event of a power outage the two apcupsd daemons communicate and the one in vMA runs a script against ESXi kicking off a shutdown of the VM's and...

    SAN no longer fully VMware certified.

    Thanks lopoetve, that could be very helpful. :) Cheers Simon.

    SAN no longer fully VMware certified.

    And trying to get useful information out of them is always painful and often fruitless. **Sighs** The SAN is not even a year old.... Thanks for the info.

    SAN no longer fully VMware certified.

    Thanks. It's status hasn't changed since vSphere 4. It runs fine on the SW initiators under 3.5. We bought the thing because it was affordable (cheap!) AND VMware certified, now it isn't. The joys of playing at this end of the market I suppose.

    SAN no longer fully VMware certified.

    Is that an informed guess or do you know it to be true? Cheers
