I dreamt I was an old dog, stuck in a honeypot. It was horrifying.

Finally got everything installed and wrapped up. Another 16GB of ram came yesterday, so this setup is done.

Focus: :eng101: VMware.

Setup: Beefy AIO host, shared storage out by NFS/iSCSI, back to host, and x3 vESXi hosts for vGoodies.

What are you going to use for the VM to present the storage? FreeNAS?

edit:

So you have the machine booting into ESXi (from a USB stick?) with the three vESXi vmdk's and the NAS vmdk located on the SSD, and any VMs running off of the vESXi hosts have their vmdk's located on the NAS datastore, right?

Do tell. I got my 840pro from my macbook now unused. I think I'm gonna throw in my ESXi box instead of selling it. Fast storage all day. :jiggled:

Only reason I went with a bigger SSD for my main computer is the fact I need to bootcamp into Windows. Trying to run the vsphere client in a VM inside Fusion is driving me nuts. VM inside VM to manage a host to manage x8 other VM's is just silly at this resolution.

I love how the vCenter web client integration plugin doesn't work on anything that the vsphere client doesn't already run on. :rolleyes:
