mpeg4v3 posted:[*]FreeBSD to manage a ZFS storage pool I'd make sure that whatever you're getting supports VT-d or AMD's thingy, especially if you're planning on running a guest with ZFS direct access. For this budget you could easily make a pretty beefy system centered around a Sandy Bridge Xeon E3 and the Intel C20x series chipsets, but that would require ECC (which I would recommend anyway), also this would only get you four cores. Another thing to be aware of is that the free vSphere 5 entitlement only supports a single socket CPU (unlimited cores) and 32GB of RAM.

Oh yeah, the reason I'm here; Does anyone know of a way to quickly find a list of VMs that have snapshots from vCenter? vSphere 4.1u2 if it matters.

keygen and kel posted:How can I clone a single snapshot of an ESXi VM without reverting back to it? There's no supported way of doing this with vCenter/ESXi. You can do from from the command line with vmkfstools by manually cloning the vmdk.

I've inherited a vCenter install and don't know the (Oracle) database passwords for the vCenter and Update Manager databases. There's no way to say find these in the registry or anything, right?

Corvettefisher posted:Do you have an admin account to the DB you can reset the passwords to? Then just reset the password to that user account, and apply the new credentials on the vCenter server. Yeah, that's the plan, I was just hoping to not have to reset the password if it is possible to recover it from the registry or something.

Goons, I'm tasked with a vSphere 4.1 to 5.x upgrade (a dozen blades, 300 vms). Were you to be tasked with this would you (a) go to 5.0x or (b) go to 5.1x? I guess another question is now or later, as in go to a stable 5.0 version now or a 5.1 version as soon as they clean it up. I saw some 5.1 hate in the last couple pages, which is making me nervous.

luminalflux posted:Don't know which is the correct thread (until someone starts a "gently caress HP" thread), but the HP Insight Control for vCenter installer borked in some way when installing it on my vCenter server. Can't install it, can't uninstall it. I have no idea whether this might help you but maybe it'll help someone at some point? I've had good results with manually unregistering vCenter plugins when they're totally broken and making everything unhappy: https://kb.vmware.com/kb/1025360

Is anyone out there using IDS or IPS systems within your VMware environment? Specifically, is it possible to SPAN or port mirror traffic between two VMs even if they reside on the same host? I see that Sourcefire has this and wondering if it's possible without that substantial a budget. Would vDS and a Snort VM get the job done?

1000101 posted:You can't really SPAN a port unless you're using the functionality in the Nexus 1000v or the vDS since traffic between two VMs on the same host will never actually reach the physical switchport. Aweseme, thanks. That makes a lot of sense. It seems like it might be easier to upgrade to vDS switching rather than deploy a bunch of sensors and make sure they're on the right host all the time.
