    Linked mode and 1000v

    Has anyone used 1000v with Linked Mode? How would it work if you added a second vCenter later and then wanted to extend the 1000v?

    Is vSphere 5.5 Update 1 coming?

    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?

    VCP 510 done, what next and when?

    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?

    UCS VM-FEX, should I be using it?

    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...

    iSCSI vmkernel ports, dvUplinks, and Load Based Teaming question

    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...

    p2v exchange server

    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...

    recommend 2.4/5GHz MIMO AP

    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.

    Need High Availability SAN software

    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.

    ESXi lab datastore: hardware raid or NAS

    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...

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...
