Lou,
I have no problem with you reposting. I don't have a blog anywhere, I though
about it but don't know where to start one. I have been working with Sun
Rays for over 6 years. We are also pushing the Virtual archutecture as hard
as we can. I read your blogs on the esx and VM. I see you have also build
ESX on the 4100, I did a several pilots on loaded V40Z and 4100's. We are
also planning on a large data center consolidation. I will forward you some
of our sizing results.
Take care
David Partington

Mike,
We have close to 3000 Sun Ray's in production at Ft Huachuca. We have
some Solaris Desktops, but the majority is Terminal Server Desktops.
The problem with terminal servers is that the individual students dont
have individual Windows IP's, and a few apps don't work well terminal
services. To solve this issue we conducted a couple of pilots running
Windows XP VM's with VMWARE ESX. The pilot was very successful and we
were able to establish a baseline for scalablity. What we determined
was that we could run 80 users on a single 4600. Our (5)4600's have
64GB of Ram and 8 dual core CPU's. Each 4600 has 8 4GB FCAL ports
attached to a 27TB file Server. For each VM session, we have allocate
2GB of RAM and 70GB of Disk. On the five 4600's we are provided 450
simultaneous XP VM's. The XP VM are served out to the Sun Ray's via
the uttsc windows connector. The cost savings over a FAT client is
70%. I will post more results later. If you have any further questions
E-mail me.
Thanks Dave

I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're having. Hopefully it's a
quick fix.
If you don't mind me asking, is there anything you can share about the
5x x4600's you're running VMware on? I would assume its virtualized XP
instances, or something along those lines. Any experiences you can
share with VMware on such a large platform (with boatloads of
instances?) would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

I am running 3 Sun T2000's in a failover, with non smart card CAM Mode
connecting to 5 Sun 4600 ESX (VMWARE Servers) via RDP. The SR Servers
are running Solaris 10 with SRSS 4.0. I don't know if this is a keyboard
issue.
Has anyone else seen this problem, and is there a work-around.
