I have several clients on 5.1 and they keep asking about 5.5. In the past we would wait for U1 to upgrade but I'm not sure anymore. If U1 is coming soon it would make sense to wait but if we're going straight to 6.0 then I'm thinking upgrade now.
Suggestions?
I recently had to grow physical mode RDM LUN connected to two 2008R2 guests running a SQL Server AG, the client already had this setup so I had no choice really. I grew it in Unisphere (concatenated metalun) but after HBA rescan my hosts still saw the original size... Double checked LUN...

Just passed VCP 510 and I've been managing and building VMware environments for a couple of years now, based on the blueprint I think I would do very well on DCA if I took it in a month or so. Not sure if that is smart considering we're at the tail end of the 5.x cycle. What do you guys recommend?
So we just got a new UCS chassis, 6 blades, and 2 FIs to start a new vSphere cluster.
I was initially going to set up each blade with 2 vNICs with all the necessary vlans tagged (one in each fabric) and join them to the existing vDS were all the port groups are already configured, it would...
I'm trying to set up a pfSense vm as my OpenVPN server. I'm using a Mikrotik RB750G as my edge device and forwarding UDP 1194 to pfSense (10.1.1.253/24). I also have a Layer 3 switch that does all the vlan routing, and includes a default route for 0.0.0.0 to the Mikrotik inside interface...
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II T-989
This phone is 3 months old and in perfect condition, as soon as I bought it I got a case, screen protector, and an extra battery, which is all included. Running official ICS Darkside rooted and unlocked, I can flash it back to 100% stock for you if you want...
1:1 is usually recommended, but if I'm using LBT should I assign each iSCSI vmkernel port to both uplinks and let the vDS handle it? Is that even possible? I can't find any literature on this and the article below assumes only one vmkernel port for iSCSI...
One of our clients has a physical exchange server which needs to be converted. It has several large volumes so my initial thought was to convert only C: and RDM the other LUNs. I tried it with a test system and I can't see the data on the RDM disk. I have not done this before so any advice would...
I got an RB751U-2Hn but I'm getting 30Mbit at most under ideal conditions. Nobody in my area is using Channel 11 and I have tweaked the TxPower and other settings to no avail. I don't know if 5GHz will help but I would like to try.
Anyone know of a dual band mimo AP in the $100 range?
Thanks.
My company just started tuition assistance and I want to take advantage and finish my degree. I went to huge state university straight out of high school and finished most of my gen. ed. reqs. but then due to circumstances which are not relevant to this discussion I quit and started working. I...
LNP 0-7 glow orange and LED2 blinks green (heartbeat and fault). The computer boots straight to a blank screen with a blinking underscore. The jumper is set to IR/IT mode, I can't flash to latest bios because the PC won't boot to USB.

Website says out of stock but I just picked up four at the store in Rockville, MD and they had many more.
We have extra older Supermicro servers and the CTO wants me to build him a SAN. It needs to have sync to another SAN (which we would also build) and HA/Failover in case the main controller goes down. So far I have found Nexenta Enterprise, Open-E, and a couple VSAs. The main purpose of the SAN...

I bought the MBA 13" a few months ago from a member here who purchased it December 2010 and barely used it. When I received it the battery had less than 10 cycles, now it has 90. It is still in perfect condition and undervolts very well with CookBook, which I will include for free...
I want to build a vm host with Sandy Bridge but they removed support for registered memory and the biggest unbuffered ECC modules I can find are 4GB. Is this a lost cause?
Designing a two-node VM cluster for a friend, his facility will use it for RDS and Citrix. Hyper-V would be cheapest, but they are not against Xen or ESXi. What is the absolute cheapest HA shared storage for two nodes? Dell MD3200 has a dual controller option for HA but at that point I might as...
I always disabled it in windows and I can't find a way to do it in OS X and I could use some help. I don't want this to become a flame war, it's not up for debate. I hate acceleration and I want it off. There is no getting used to it, it must be destroyed. I have this amazing MBA 13" and I am...
I am building an ESXi host and I am not sure what to do about storage. The simplest solution would be to get a cheap raid card and a couple RE4s in raid1 but I could definitely use more training in NFS and iSCSI and the related networking so I am thinking about a cheap Atom based NAS. I'm...
Work is covering my CCNA test so I need to get a switch or two for a home lab. I found an ASA 5505 for cheap so outside facing interface is covered. Can someone recommend a decent Cisco switch that will allow me to use all the IOS features the test covers? I don't need anything fancy but it...
I decided to go with FlexRAID for my media/file server build, I don't want to mess with hardware raid or ZFS. Not sure which OS to use, I have a free copy of Server 2008 but it's not R2 unfortunately, and I am open to Linux and WHS.
Funds are limited so hardware wish list is modest:

Not sure of this belongs here or in data storage systems.
I need a NAS serving media and files to 2 consoles, xbmc live box, 3 pcs, iPhone and Android phone (transcoding), and running torrent. My router is also getting old and I would love to have quality traffic shaping, and dual WAN would be...
They are too nice for how little I use them (or any headphones at all). The only flaws with them are a tiny superficial scratch in the metal casing on one side and a tiny whole in the cloth covering one of the drivers.

Selling my Xbox 360 20gb with HDMI. Barely used as I primarily play on PC, bought it when GTA IV came out and there was no PC version in sight and it's been mostly collecting dust since then. I don't have the wireless controller that came with it (just moved and can't find it anywhere) and I...
If there is a better sub-forum for this move away.
I work in tech support, email/phone/remote desktop, mostly dealing with our software, windows troubleshooting (permissions, etc) and SQL Server. My sql skills are improving fast, starting to use stored procedures. I never planned for a...
So I just wall-mounted my Kuro and set up the surround sound, now I want to play sofa-friendly games like GTA IV had put off waiting for a proper setup. The problem is I would need to run three 20ft stereo cables from my pc to the receiver for multi-channel analog. I don't have DD Live and I...
I'm not gonna ramble. Didn't want to buy this game, I was against the bullshit like everyone else here. But I was talked into getting the Xbox version by a few friends, and after trying to play online for a couple of hours with dual analog I gave up. I need my mouse. Went back to the store...

been hearing some great things about this game lately but I don't wanna buy another mmo after being burned with AoC and WAR. looked online for a free trial and can't find it anywhere, apparently you have to be invited.
anyone have an invite to burn?
Using my trusty S12 500 still, this thing is rock solid and ran an overclocked Q6600+8800GTX system for months without any issues, and I ran a couple torture tests just to be sure. Now I'm thinking about a 280 to replace my GT.

New maps, and we can finally block out pussycore mode. I'm still convinced people play it only because it's called 'hardcore', thinking it makes them hard too. I would like to see how many would play it if it was appropriately named, such as 'one-shot kill no skill mode.' Having to go through 9...
