VMWare ESX 3.5 and two host cluster - N5200PRO
Hello everyone
I recently purchased a 5200PRO and would like to understand if the current firmware of the 5200PRO will allow me to use the advanced features on ESX 3.5 (vmotion via shared storage etc). I have read some of the threads, but I am unsure if I can use iscsi or even NFS (performance issues?) with ESX 3.5 in a two host cluster? If anyone is currently running this setup, I would greatly appreciate your help or advice on setting up my lab with ESX 3.5. Questions - IMGDUP module - what is this, where can I download it from and how do I install on 5200PRO? - does this help with the issues above? if yes, how? - does it give 16 connection temporarily or permanently to the two ESX hosts? Apologies, im a novice and only recently received my 5200PRO ps - I intend to use 4x500gb in raid 5 All help appreciated |

Re: VMWare ESX 3.5 and two host cluster - N5200PRO
I dont recall any of the Thecus kit being on the HCL for iSCSI - so you'll need to run it as NFS
Vmotion requires a Gb network between the hosts , to shift the memory footprint of the guests - Storage performance is less of an issue.   |
