1) No issue with 32 Guests running on 64Bit ESX any flavor 2) You treat the guests as normal for backup or anything else
Later on you can do things like full on VM guest backups outside of an agent program like backup exec among other things. Also depending on your license level look into getting a license of 2008 Datacenter Windows which lets you have unlimited virtual's per licensed host (even with VMwre) From: Bill Lambert [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 10:53 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: VMware newbie Hello all... We are in the early stages of planning to consolidate some W2K3 servers on some beefy hardware. We are going to use VMware (ESXI to begin with) as other corporate offices use it and it's kind of mandated. I have a couple of questions...If I install the 64 bit version of ESXI on bare metal, can W2K3 32 bit servers run on it? When it comes to backing up the guests using BUE 12.0, can I use my Windows Server agents or do I need something else? I've spent too many hours on hold with Symantec for an answer. Thanks in advance for any advice/help. Bill Lambert Windows System Administrator Concuity A healthcare division of Trintech, Inc.
