Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Hi Marty,
Well the pricing for VMware Essentials Plus Kit is around $4582 AUD where I am.
Plus the three servers.
All up I am looking close to $26,000 without networking. (2x R520, 1x R320, vSphere, Support)
How has your setup been running with Veeam and replication? HAve you...
cheers Joshu
Thanks for the note. I will throw in a R320 for management then and probably run Veeam on that as well for backups.
Going to go through the videos now. Thanks
Oh do you need a hardware raid controller card for VSA or does VSA do that for you at the software level? My preference of course has always been on hard raid controller.
Anyone know?
Really good feed back here thank you everyone.
I am pretty close to locking in the following spec now with a 2x host cluster. The thought of VSA now included in the licensing seems like a good option for small business solution. Especially when you consider that you are running two VSAs so...
Hi,
Was looking for anyone's experiences with using VMWare VSA. Was looking to build two server nodes for small business and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experiences with running VSA.
Also be interested to know of the HP Lefthand is any good as a VSA.
Was looking to spec...

Thanks for the reply Hagrid.
For the extra network cards I was thinking of running a trunk to the box so I can have vlans for iSCSI1,2,heart beat, data, management. Do you reckon I can get away with this on a test lab ?:)
Keeping the ram though because I will be running a few domain...
Hi Guys,

Looking to go indeep into vSphere and get ready for the certification. I want to setup a lab at home and was wanting to get some advice.
