Ah ok I never run into that because I limit the number of hosts in my datastore by default.

Its looking like so far that whatever crashed the first hosts subsequently crashed the clustering service on the remaining 2 hosts. Won't know til I can get the first host, which is now sitting at 'configuring memory', to boot. Thank heavens a reboot of the remaining two hosts resulted in all the VMs auto starting like they are supposed to. What a pisser.

It was a joke.

Erwin posted:Veeam released a new version of their Backup & Replication software today or recently, and I think their support is swamped. When I called earlier for an unrelated issue, someone had changed their hold music to circus music That's pretty entertaining, most corporations don't allow their drones to be that self aware.

Nitr0 posted:we're testing 5 of these http://www.dell.com/us/enterprise/p/precision-r5500/pd to do passthru graphics on vmware + xendesktop combo. They come in next week so we'll see how good they do in testing but initial research has been promising at actually delivering near desktop experience. Racking workstations as a VDI implementation. We have a few experts at that here

Sylink posted:I'm surprised they don't make a custom Linux appliance with vSphere on it that you can load up, say in a VM and then use that to manage everything, which frees them up from Windows installs. I've been asking this for years.

Noghri_ViR posted:Is anyone running Exchange over NFS? I know it's not supported but I've seen reports of people doing it and it running quite well. I was told that if you ever need support on it you just vmotion over to an iSCSI datastore and then call up support. Why wouldn't you just use iSCSI?

Loten posted:We're currently trying to reduce the amount of rack space we're using, so we're in the process of P2Ving older servers onto more powerful ESX hosts. Well first P2V isn't always the best thing to do. I use it primarily to setup boxes with legacy software that we no longer have support to do a fresh install of. But you gotta do what you gotta do. When doing the P2V setup only P2V the C: drive. Then create your other two volumes manually and robocopy their data over from old server to new server.

madsushi posted:Typically you have CIM drivers installed that will pass the detailed hardware information to ESXi. HP and Dell have ESXi ISOs that come with these drivers preinstalled. But, that's what you're looking for: CIM drivers for the LSI raid controller, which may or may not exist. This. By the way does anyone have the ESX 5.1 link for HP handy? I'd like to give it a spin but gently caress trying to find it on their godawful website.

That or go to a worker server paradigm, but at that point you may as well go bare metal and yes I'm flogging myself for saying that.

So apparently I'm getting a free upgrade to vCloude Suite Standard. This poo poo looks complicated and I have no clue how I could use it in my environment. Still... free.

You guys aren't really doing much to dispel the notion that I should hold off on my 5.1 migration.

three posted:vSphere is a significantly more well-rounded and feature-rich product than its competition, in my opinion. But, you know how many people actually USE all of those features? Not many. There are still people in 2013 that don't have DRS enabled. DRS was brand new to me when I installed vMware 5.0 for the first time and upon reading up on it I was like "Oh hell yeah" and turned that poo poo on. I won't lie and say I make use of every feature set that VMWare has, but I'm making a good attempt at it.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I have another question for you virtualization gurus. This isn't even a virtualization question, more of a MS best practices question and both responses you gave as possible answers are wrong. The correct answer is two completely separate domain controllers (No microsoft cluster bullshit) hardware be damned. Expecting to leverage some VM HA/windows clustering HA is just borrowing trouble. GnarlyCharlie4u posted:On-topic: I have no idea what I'm doing. Tonight I'm going to celebrate the new year. Tomorrow I'll be tackling the virtualization of Windows. loving hell don't shotgun this. Do you have a domain controller already? If yes: 1. Build new server, join the domain. 2. Sort the time options: Google is your friend. Last I read the current practice is install vmtools or what the gently caress ever retarded off brand virtualization you are using, have it pull from the ESX server and have ESX pull from an external NTP source. I use the US Navies  . Microsofts is good too.3. Install active directory/DNS/DHCP/whatever. 4. Seize dem roles 5. Build another new server, steps 1-3 again. 6. Decommission old server. GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I mean setting up a failover cluster for some of our services like SQL, DNS, and the print server. Yes it's that important and holy poo poo I want to set fire to every printer in the building. Microsoft Failover clustering is a big fat loving waste of time and money 95% of the time. DNS will take care of itself (It's designed to if you install it on multiple servers). Print server failover cluster is stupid and dumb. And I admittedly couldn't be arsed to do it for SQL in a virtual environment either considering my Stopped not running state to fully online and serving data is in the sub minute range when virtualized and how daffy Microsoft failover clustering can be. EDIT: Seconding the "In way over your head" thing. And the fact that you aren't even going to do it all with well documented (read licensed) toolsets is just barfy as gently caress. Excuse me while I vmotion some poo poo around just because I can. *right clicks* Rhymenoserous fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Dec 31, 2014 |

Martytoof posted:Is it normal for VCSA 6 to take like 10 minutes to become available? The generic "welcome to vsphere 6 bla bla" site comes up almost immediately, but then it just sits in a broken state and won't let me click through to the actual webUI without cryptic errors for a good 10 minutes. Sounds like you just said "Rhyme, don't upgrade to Vsphere 6."
