I've got a MSI 9800GT 512 OC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127379

I just started playing with this feature today. here is a good article about it: http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2012/05/21/introduction-to-data-deduplication-in-windows-server-2012.aspx I used the DDPEval.exe tool to run against a few of our 500GB disks in production. The...

The way I see it is the replacement for Virtual PC which has serious limitiations. With VMware jacking up theur licensing costs and the features offered in Hyper-V 3 I think it should be given serious consideration by a lot of people due to its cost advantages.

I have seen those numbers unfortnatuly...... to the point the guest VMs would BSOD. There can be a lot of causes. ESX Top i syour freinds. Our ended up being a combination of front end SAN port saturation and misconfigured array groups. What kind of storage subsystem are you working with? are...

I also think it BS that documentation like this is so hard to find. I mean after the amount of $$ spent to get one of their top array's....... I can tell you we are using RR on our USP-V(not-VM). The one issue we seem to run into with the HDS arrays is the maximum number of commands per LUN...

What OS ? make sure the HDD controlelr is the correct type for the server os.

What's funny is what is the percent of the OSes being virtualized on VMware's hypervisors ? Microsoft's server licensing model for virtual servers makes their OS and managment products very cheap for medium to large organizations.

check your physical servers for a speed/duplex mismatch.

last year we deployed EMC Centera for the back end storage for e-mail archiving (symantec enterprise vault) We currently have 30TB of storage available and are replicating it to a 2nd data center on the east coast.

I wouldn't P2V a DC anyways. Its much easier and cleaner to build a new one and promote.

I contected them because I passed it in OCT and still haven't received any confirmation or my cert. This is pretty lame. How long does it take to print some certs up.

I hear it's now the 23rd..... Holding my breath at this point.

I beleive withj 2003 is uses VSS to snapshot the volumes. Do you see any VSS error in the event logs ?

If anyone has any question why 1 vCPU VM's should be your default here it is. Users were reporting slow printing at one of our smaller sites. The print srever has about 80 print queues and was configured with 2 vCPU's and 2GB ram. The server admin decided since task manager shows 100% cpu just...

Yep. Passed it last week. No need for the 2nd shot for me.

what part said expired ? The voucher code when you wnet to register with pearson vue ?

I don't know what is worse.....someone wrote this and has an AD environment or the fact its written in btach scripting. for the love of god tatooing the registry on a large number of systems.... bad idea.

If yoru using novell you already went wrong somewhere :D Another vote for SCCM> And if your not very large you can get the system center essencials

True and you can test with the local policy instead of editing the registry.......

can you post the windowsupdate.log from the client ?

The USP-V won't have any LUCE LUN's. From what I remember they stated you can't create them on the USP-V. I believe the USP-V and USP-VM are diffident subsystems.

I completely agree. Unfortunately most of our issues are political not technical. When that team is under a different Director and VP. It's a political nightmare where the engineers are just stuck in the middle trying to make it work as best as we can. I think at best the USP-V will buy us...

Unfortunately we have a dedicated team to handle or storage. They have little to no interest in performance tuning and don't understand anything about vmware. Believe me the headaches I have had with my physical file servers and the vmware hosts have given me a crash course in SAN technology...

Not to thread jack but we use Hitachi currently migrating from a USP1100 to a USP-V........ and so say we have had issues is a giant understatement. It just seems like the HDS arrays are just aren't built to handle VMware loads very well. Anyone else have any HDS experience ?

WARNING: Printmig is no longer supported as of SP2 for Server 2003. It will not properly backup your printers and drivers is certain configurations. Such as drivers that include cab files. Its not supported on x64. It has been replaced by PRINTBRM.EXE which requires vista or Server 2008.

There's one of the pitfalls of virtualization. Now people can keep ancient systems around forever.

Ver 5 at that ? :confused:

lopoetve, Are there any vmware whitepapers that discuss the defragmentation of the guest file systems ? What your saying makes sense but It would be a lot easier to convince management to allow me to remove perfectdisk from our vm's if there was some documentation out there.

Can you explain why the boot volume does not need to be aligned. Also per microsoft Server 2008 automatically aligns its partitions to 1MB. I assume tahts ok because it can be devided by 32 ?

Agreed....its just not recommended http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773238.aspx#BKMK_OneWayRep

Can you provide details on that ? I assume you wouldn't be using a windows guest ?

Technically not true. Microsoft doesn't support one way synchronization in Server 2003 R2 or Server 2008. You can manually configure it but it isn't supported. Read-Only is a new AD attribute that is included with Server 2008 R2 which is why when 08 R2 is released they will support a one way...

I just replaced it at remote office with 160GB on the file server. I replaced it with DFSR. I am seeing a 90-97% reduction in WAN untilization using Server 2008 DFSR(same as 2003 R2). I use VSS to have local backups and replace the file shares to our main offcie where it gets backuped to tape...

We use to have 3 environments. Development, pre-production, and production. Now the development teams want a new environment every few weeks to test. They only take and never give back. We also have two other clusters in pre-production which will be due back for lease in less than 12 months. so...

Our new pre-production ESX cluster has 5x HP BL680c blades. Quad Hex-core cpu's @ 2.4GHz /w 128GB RAM. ESX Cluster Total: 288GHz / 640GB RAM 196 VM's running. avg cpu 9% / 23% memory used.

Pretty much. I wouldn't go out spend the money on my own to get it. If your company pays for it then I say go for it. The accelerated training class is worth it. Since you get a voucher to take the VCP you might as well.

Setup a perfmon capture. Look at your Kernel memory useage.

YGPM for cpu/mobo combo.

I love creed. To everyone asking "creed has fans?". yes. Over 30 million apparently. My Own prison is one of my favorite albums of all time. They were the first band to have 4 number 1 hits on their debut album.
