  • How easy is it to deploy a Virtualized server ?

    Updated: 2009-11-28 10:50:58
    A couple of posts back I showed the video of deploying an operating system with Windows deployment services. But if you have an image in a Virtual hard disk , it is quicker to copy VHD file than it is to make an image of its contents and then expand the image back onto a new system. That’s one of th

  • Got my VCP-410

    Updated: 2009-11-28 10:15:21
    So, after two weeks of studying I got my VCP-410 yesterday. Again, the exam contained lots of "minima and maxima" questions. (how much luns can be assigned, how much memory is required, how many cpu's can be used). I hate these kind of questions. Most minima and maxima are never encountered in real life. And if you need them, just look them up in the help documents. I'd rather see "case oriented" questions (situation, what do you do). These kind of questions require more knowledge of the candidate and are more representative to real life situations. VMware, take notice

  • Tip: EMC Celerra NS350 iSCSI and vSphere 4 SAN HCL

    Updated: 2009-11-23 21:50:18
    As part of my vSphere 4.0 upgrade planning, I checked VMware's HCL for all of my hardware. I noticed that VMware's SAN HCL for vSphere 4 includes the Celerra NS350 for NAS but there's no listing for iSCSI unlike many other Celerra models that explicitly state "iSCSI" and "NAS". Good News: I opened and SR with EMC support who verified that the Celerra NS350 is indeed supported as an iSCSI target for vSphere 4 just as it is for VI 3.5. For future reference, one can verify this by using the e-Lab Navigator tool found on EMC PowerLink.
