Re: VCL running on Dell Hardware

[Mark Gardner]

I created a second network that is only within ESX that the VMs use to
communicate with the management node (which is also a VM).

RE: VCL running on Dell Hardware

[Sanders, Arbin D]

Mark/Dmitri,

Thanks for the info! One quick question, are you running two nics in your 
development platform?

Arbin,

My development platform is a Dell Optiplex 760 desktop. So it is likely that 
the servers you have will work. As Dmitri said, a greater limitation is that 
ESX needs to run on it. I am working on a server currently that does not have a 
supported RAID card and hence ESX will not run on it.

Note: the upcoming VCL 2.3 release supports other virtualization options, such 
as KVM, that will relax the constraints on ESX-supported hardware.

Re: VCL running on Dell Hardware

[Dmitri Chebotarov]

Hi Arbin,  

I don't believe VCL is hardware specific, unless you need bare-metal 
provisioning (xCAT).  
Any hardware which is capable of running ESXi will work for VCL. With older 
hardware you may see some performance issues, but as a test-bed it will work 
fine.  

Thanks.
