MC Fruit Stripe posted:I think actually doing without things like vMotion etc wouldn't be too bad in this use case. We just migrated a bunch of services out of an office closet and into the datacenter proper, but that left me with a handful of DL360 G8s sitting in a rack. Thinking about scoring major points with the developers by giving them the servers for an on-prem lab, with the condition that hey, these are YOUR servers, we're not supporting it. Just add them to an existing vCenter, throw their new hosts in a cluster and let them provision whatever they like on the server's local disks. I'd give them the servers, an isolated subnet and let them install and configure everything themselves.

I have an esxi box under my desk right now that's set up the way you want I think. The key is having 2 sata controllers, my motherboard has an asmedia esata port on the back that I pass back into the case which is what I boot off and I pass the intel controller with 6 drives to a linux vm. Also I have a pcie usb 3 card and a 2nd video card I can pass to any vm. I complicate things even further and do raid and iscsi in the linux vm and pass that back to esxi.

That makes the 48 core epyc pretty pointless, better to get 2 32c or one 64c.

You could try ubuntu 19.10 and if that works upgrade to 20.04 in a few months, or ideally port the whole thing over to centos.

Microsoft is working on using linux on as the root partition for hyper-v https://www.theregister.com/2021/02/17/linux_as_root_partition_on_hyper_v/. Eventually Azure will be running linux on bare metal like every other cloud provider.

VelociBacon posted:Hi thread. I have a windows 10 PC, 9900k, 2080ti, 32gb DDR4 ram. Is it feasible to use a VM so that I can have someone playing a VR game while someone else uses the screens to play a relatively low GPU/CPU demand game? Thanks. I've never done anything with VM before but I'm otherwise a pretty techy goon. It's cleaner if you do one discreet video card and usb controller per vm, for a while I booted fedora on intel igpu, windows 10 vm with a 2080 and a osx vm on a Rx 570 and I could use all 3 at once. It's also possible to share your 2080ti with multiple vms but you'd lose video out, you'd have to use a bunch of steamlinks or something for that. Now I proxmox because its basically built for edge cases like this.

Holy cow the new vSphere 7 update 3 is bad. I still use esxi 6.7 but upgraded to vsphere 7 because the ui was better, now its worse than 6. All list views paginate at only 35 items and its not possible to shift select a bunch of vms. I suppose its going to force me to script everything like I should because batch operations though the web interface are too tedious now.

Now that VMware killed the free tier you are officially allowed to pirate it.
