Concepts in the Paradox

Today’s LISA class involves VMware ESX server. It’s starting out slow like Sunday’s day-long class, but I’m hoping to walk away with more knowledge on good practices on deploying virtual machines. Some key things I’ve gained so far:

• SAN and LVM are the best way to seup partitions

• Configuring too many virtual CPUS causes contention if you don’t need that many VCPUs
• You can’t mix and match CPU types (Intel Vs. AMD)

Also, no power outlets in this room. I’m playing power vulture during the breaks. :\
