I mean it. 6 servers (5 operational as one is crashing itself repeatedly), 2 switches, and bandwidth. This should be easy to do! I mean: what could go wrong? Nick installed VMware ESXi 5.0 on the physical hardware. I then mounted up a NetApp FAS250, loaded some ISOs, installed Windows Server 2008R2, all smooth. Added More >

While at VMworld 2011, I spent a lot of time at the expo (where companies were peddling their wares) looking for 2 items. Storage vendors who do things via NFS.

vCloud Director Cluster got you down?
about 9 months ago - 2 comments
vCloud Director – the VMware solution to building on-demand infrastructure for the enterprise and cloud computing…works. But there are some trials you must encounter and complete before things work smoothly. TL;DR: I failed at first but found the problem with the issue being firewall services blocking inter-cell communications. This post is about the log entry More >
