Thanks for all the replies. Off-hand, I can't think of any scripts that would
be running that could have that effect. There is a couple of LDAP links to two
vendors' products (allow sso) but I believe those should only be read only.

Greetings,
Getting very close to moving into the VM world, and have a couple of
questions...
1) I am trying to figure out if I should go with 8 core or 6 core
processors in my 3 hosts for my upcoming VMware environment.
The price is about double. And I'm not sure I need 8 cores.

Yep,
For this time, I will make a small exception.

I think you'll be fine with 6-core processors. Make sure you have as much RAM

Initial thoughts, in no particular order:
3 VM hosts for 8 servers seems excessive
You almost certainly won't need 8 cores.
RAM and disk IO tend to be bottlenecks before CPU does.
Why a SAN and not DAS?
If you really need shared storage consider the VMware VSA or HP P4000 VSA.
What are you doing

$40,000 ($12k for AD/Exch, $8k for XenApp 20k for VMware)
$38,000 (not itemized)
$28,000 ($11k for AD/Ex, $6k XenApp, $11k for VM)
Do these sound legit? I have ~190 users if that helps.

How many PS4 users (also ~190)? What type of 6.5 licenses (Advanced,

More RAM. As much as the hosts can hold. Lots of NICs. You will eventually
want to isolate traffic and the more NICs you have the easier it will be.
Architect storage carefully. Disk I/O, being the slowest link in the chain,
can really put you behind the 8-ball. Leave room for test environments.
That's what I was wondering about - the money - it seems like a heck of a lot
of cash...

The servers I am backing up will just be virtual

Oh, before I forget—look at 10Gb Ethernet while you're setting everything up.
It handily takes care of storage and VM networking needs—we've been able to cut
back to a dual-port 10GbE card on each VM host here plus 2 normal gigabit ports
for iKVM and backup management. 10 gig is expensive for

The 8 cores vs 6 cores is really not apples to apples in this case, and
while you will almost always be better off going with the best you can
afford at a given moment, the truth is that you'll be positively fine with
6-cores.
The key, as others have already mentioned is RAM -- closely followed
Get double that if you can. HP RAM is expensive, Kingston is cheap and works
just fine.

No, it allows 192gb total vram, that's ram allocated to all of your VMs.
VMware don't care if you have 192gb in each host or if you have 64gb in each

Now, I have to ask. Why 3 hosts? You only have 8 systems to virtualize,
plus some growth. Define the reasonable range of growth for 1 year? 4 VMs?
