Just curious, but why the hate on VMWare Server 2.0? Looks like ESXi is going to be a weekend project for me. Now I need to find a compatible computer to test it on... --Matt Ross Ephrata School District - Original Message - From: Steven Peck [mailto:sep...@gmail.com] To: NT System

In my case at least it's nothing resembling hate, it is a capability/benefit analysis that vmware server loses to esxi on every count. There is nothing VMware server can do that ESXi can't (assuming you're dedicating a server to virtualization) and a number of things that ESXi can do that

With both HyperV bare metal and ESXi you lose the need to manage, maintain and update the host OS. On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 3:13 PM, Damien Solodowdamien.solo...@harrison.edu wrote: In my case at least it's nothing resembling hate, it is a capability/benefit analysis that vmware server loses to

No to VMWare server. Qualified yes to ESXi - it's damned painful if you have to move VMs between machines, and getting SSH running is not terribly intuitive, but it's definitely doable. Sun has a virtualization product called VirtualBox, but I don't know its licensing status or capabilities, and

Grin I had all three Zorks for the Commodore 64 but I only completed the first one. Are any of those still out there that will run on something newer? I wouldn't mind spending a few hours with Zork again. LOL. I bet my wife wouldn't like it any better this time than last time. Len On Thu, Jun

I have esx just about everywhere that the machine can handle it. In hurricane land it just makes sense even if it’s a 1:1 to be able to quickly take a snapshot offsite. Vmware Server 2.0 works and has a few more features than 1.x albeit the web interface is slightly annoying (it does integrate

I may not have played with HyperV very much, but I didn't find moving VM's to be any easier than with ESXi. Of course with a SAN and/or VirtualCenter moving VM's is fairly trivial. On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 7:23 PM, Kurt Buff kurt.b...@gmail.com wrote: No to VMWare server. Qualified yes to

Yeah, that didn't come out right. Without VC or a SAN, the process doesn't to seem to be any harder than ESXi. On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 7:58 PM, Jonathan Link jonathan.l...@gmail.comwrote: I may not have played with HyperV very much, but I didn't find moving VM's to be any easier than with
