IanT Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Whats all your views on Server Virtualization these days? Do you think its great? You havent been won over yet? Just being nosy.
Abaddon Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) We virtualised the core bursary servers last Summer, and also Exchange and SIMS.. this year, we will be doing the same to the Citrix farm. I think it's working out very well, and of course, I don't have to worry about server hardware being difficult to replace. We have load balanced servers running the VM's (VMWare) and a DR rack which has a mirror of the VM SAN and another VMWare server (for complete failover capability). If I was asked to do this using real iron, it would be a whole lot bigger I think... ps.. I'm also Ian T. And I live in Sutton - weird huh? Edited January 29, 2009 by Abaddon
tmcd35 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Virtualise, virtualise, virtualise! (I would say that I'm a VCP ). Actually, I'm looking at pioneering the 'Virtualised Network Manager', hopefully this'll mean I can work from home

Theblacksheep Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Setting up 4 Bl480c in a c7000, MSA 2012i array, 5412zl, virtual center and vi3 now
DSapseid Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Ive got a c3000 with 4 bl460c and 4 sb40c storage on my desk that i am setting up with xenserver as we speak. I cant figure out what netwrok cables to plug where though to get it to talk to the network properly:mad:
Theblacksheep Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) I cant figure out what netwrok cables to plug where though to get it to talk to the network properly:mad: when you get 'onboard admin' up and running on the c3000 it'll tell you* what network card ports on each blade go to what passthrough/switch ports on the back. * click on Device Bays, then port mapping and untick the network cards to show what NICs link to what ports.
