Comment on iSCSI: Why a VMkernel and a Service Console? by AnthonyU

not anymore Jonsey. As of vSphere the SC is no longer needed. the kernal takes care of the CHAP auth. which has come to some other problems. if you make a change to the iSCSI target address you will have to disable and re-enable the kernel interface by using the esxcfg-vmknic via the vCLI.

There is, as they say, no accounting for taste. However, I believe this to be the exception and Calvin and Hobbes should be taught in schools as example of post modernist literature; Orwell be damned!!

Now, to the extent that the tastes of individuals are modifiable by those individuals, it may well be that individuals are, to that extent, accountable for their tastes. ,

Hrm. As previously whinged about on FB, sorry, I think this is utterly stupid.

We’re heading into a recession either way, and this clown borrows MORE money to hand out this quick-fix stimulus junk just so that the country owes even more money, and we lose our Triple A credit rating?

No thanks.

(Though I understand why you’d like a stim right now in your sitch…)

Comment on [TUTORIAL] Boot ESX 3i from USB key by Adam

Adam — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 23:12:23 +0000

That’s actually a really good question. One potential answer is a diskless server. In my experience (especially in a SOHO environment), one of the big problems is failing disk drives. In fact, I have managed to kill two drives so far!

So, let’s remove one of the more likely elements that will fail.

Of course, now I am relying on the USB bus (inherently slower than physical disk) for my OS AND all my storage has to be on a NAS of some description. Certainly, hardware vendors are shipping servers with 3i pre-installed as well.

It complicates things a little, however in a SOHO or test environment it allows me to get around the need for local storage. In an enterprise; great for testing and playing, but in a production environment I would go for ESX3.5.

I guess a key question or point to make here is…. _why_ would you want to do this…
