Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I would like to switch to using Linux almost full-time but I'm lazy and don't want to have to reboot into Windows every time I want to play a game. Is it possible to build a hypervisor that would allow me to get the full gaming performance of an independent Windows machine while being able to run an instance of Linux I can quickly switch back to when I want to get work done or just browse the net?

Xen can do this. I'm not sure how easily it can be set up or how difficult it would be to use.

Just install your favorite linux distro into something like VMware player. It will give you the full linux experience.

do any of those let you pop a tab out of the main window like chrome does with a browser tab? I used to use VisionApp Remote Desktop (old free 1.5 version) but now I find myself with 2 or 3 remote sessions open at once across my sea of monitors.

I finally got around to setting up VSphere client acceess over a ssh tunnel, instead of using out PPTP VPN, by following this post: http://www.virtuallifestyle.nl/2010/03/tunneling-a-vsphere-client-connection-over-ssh/ What's the reason for having to put '127.0.0.1 myvm' in the hosts file in Windows instead of just being able to put 127.0.0.1 in the address of the VSphere sign-in?

I'm trying to convert a physical Windows 7 machine to a VMware machine using VMware Converter 5.0.1 and having some problems competing the process. To make it bootable, I assume I need the 100mbit boot volume: But when I try the conversion process with it selected, I get this error: code: I tried to load up the image anyways, but this happens:   How are other people making bootable Win7 VMs of physical machines?

I have two netapp HA pairs at seperate sites. I have two vCenters each with a datacenter, and the vCenters are linked. I have SRM installed. I have created protection groups, have my SRA configured,etc.. When I test my SRM failover, my datastores (which are NFS) are cloned properly but are only mounted on a single host at my DR site. This is less than optimal. Does anyone have any idea where I should start looking to determine why my other hosts are not mounting the datastores as well?

With my test environment at home I'm hoping to pick up some virtualization knowledge, so I figured virtualizing the existing domain controller would be a good exercise. I can't seem to find this in documentation, but: if I use vCenter Converter Standalone to throw an existing physical machine on a USB external drive, install the free VMware vSphere Hypervisor on the physical machine¹, and then plug the USB drive into the server, will I be able to import the VM on that drive to the hypervisor or do I have to do something silly like SCPing it over the network? ¹ First making an image of the existing OS if things go wrong, of course.

It might be just me but I usually voice against most P2V plans. I rarely use them, nor suggest them. If you want to do this make a CIFS/NFS share upload the VMDK and other files and import the VM to the new environment. Alternatively just rebuild the DC which really shouldn't be that hard. http://www.vhersey.com/2012/10/autolab-home-lab-build/ Auto lab is your friend

I assume you've tried manually mounting the NFS datastores on your DR hosts? My guess would be NFS permissions... seem to always get misconfigured. Could also be DNS, etc. I would confirm you can manually mount the datastores at your DR site just to confirm that's all in order.

Yeah can't say I have seen that issue, porbably because I use FCoE/iSCSI for most things. NFS permissions might explain it.

Is anyone running Exchange over NFS? I know it's not supported but I've seen reports of people doing it and it running quite well. I was told that if you ever need support on it you just vmotion over to an iSCSI datastore and then call up support.

I was told that if you ever need support on it you just vmotion over to an iSCSI datastore and then call up support. Some vendors flat out don't support you for being out of spec, so I can understand. But for those that do at least Best-Effort, don't try to manipulate their support by telling them what you think they need to hear, and hide other facts. It might just slow everyone down when they have to go through hours of research before finally determining you omitted necessary facts. And in some cases you might quite innocently not know what is relevant/important to mention. That's understandable, but there are processes around asking for that kind of stuff. But lying, purposely omitting details, or otherwise misleading the case could just hurt everyone in the end.

Not only that but if poo poo hits the fan and you need that support if you can't vmotion properly or they look at the logs where you took it from a nfs share it can bite you in the rear end.

I was told that if you ever need support on it you just vmotion over to an iSCSI datastore and then call up support. I am confused. I thought that requirement was put in place so people would not present storage to the OS and Exchange environment via NFS. If you just built for instance a VM with the OS and Exchange both installed on the same volume which was just a vmdk or vhd then the OS would not know nor care how the storage was presented because it would all be present as local and then the hypervisor would then of course be responsible for negotiating nfs or iscsi or whatever. Maybe I am stupid and completely misinterpreted but I thought that was the case.

It doesn't look like there is any technical barrier stopping it, just MS slow to support NFS. The only thing I can think of is some of the Clustering methods for Exchange might play better with Block level such as FC or iSCSI.

NFS isn't great at high-availability in traditional switched Ethernet topologies, which is probably a big part of the issue.

To touch back on VDI and Gpu's I am in the middle of ordering a PoC, Test environment lab for my company. The Quadro 2000 seems to not require a 6 pin, and is a single slot card. I want to go for the 4000 but I am not sure if I am pushing the power supplies too much. The server is a 2027TR-HTRF, 2x1620w 80 PLUS, spread over 4 nodes ~ 405w per host, I am sure the 2000 won't have trouble as it is taking power from the PCI-E just worried about the 4000. http://developer.download.nvidia.com/GTC/SIGGRAPH_Asia_2011/PDF/Wade.pdf looks like the 2000 might work. Suggestions? My ATI card blew up in my face and cause PSoD.

Does anyone else have a never ending stream of issues with Deep Security? We're on 8.0 SP1 using hotfixed DSVAs. Every day I come in to interface out of sync errors, VAs with / full, etc. TrendMicro doesn't seem to know their rear end from a hole in the ground support wise and tell me to just reboot the DSVA or reboot the guest. Neither of which are particularly acceptable.

I was told that if you ever need support on it you just vmotion over to an iSCSI datastore and then call up support. Yeah, we do it and it runs exactly the same as iSCSI did. There's no technical difference to how Exchange operates, it's all abstracted and not visible at the OS level, so it's in my opinion more a CYA thing from Microsoft. There is slightly more overhead, but we're not hitting IOPS contention thresholds so who cares. If you're doing something unsupported it is good to keep the flexibility to throw up an iSCSI volume to test against the supported config, but in this particular case it seems extremely unlikely that a iSCSI vs NFS problem would manifest itself in a way that would affect just Exchange instead of having larger OS level implications. Microsoft also says you should be thick provisioning your Exchange data volumes, and my assumption has been that because with NFS you're almost always thin provisioning automatically that they are trying to avoid a situation where an overcommitted volume fills and can't grow the VMDK.

Only issue I have is their retarded notification system, every night when the relay updates I get a series of emails telling me my appliances are not the latest, followed by a series of resolved emails as the appliances pull down the update.

The ESXi hosts all sync time to our router which syncs out to some authenticated US NTP servers. As far as I know they are. I haven't actually logged in to Deep Security to check everything out this morning since I've been in meetings, but judging by the emails, there are quite a few VMs with the "Interfaces out of Sync" error and it looks like one of the DSVAs / filled up again.
