I just installed XenServer 6.0.2 on my 2 beefy lab servers because ESXi refused to install on them [1]. One is SATA HDs only and the other has 2 SSDs and one SATA HD. Installing on the SSD took less than 2 minutes. Installing on the SATA HD took almost 10 minutes. That one server is the only lab server I have that does not have an SSD. Me thinks my employer should be ashamed by having a server without an SSD. :)

The ESXi 5 installer kept giving an error that the drives were not empty even though gparted was used to delete all existing partitions and showed nothing existed on any of the 4 drives in the server. That server originally housed Hyper-V v2. When I installed XenServer, it detected an existing LVM partition and offered to delete it. Just curious why gparted left something hanging around?

Caesare [mailto:[email protected]] Subject: RE: recommendations on home server Well the Neo's _ARE_ beefier than an Atom from a horsepower perspective, as well as supporting VT extensions... I certainly agree on the SSD's however. I can tell a pretty dramatic difference with unit I have. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
