vmware infrastructure and migrating vlans between hosts
I have a set of hosts in a cluster and I need vlans on all of them, but the only way to get the vlans on all of them is to manually set them up on each. Is there a way to migrate all the vlans to each and only enter them once?

How can VMware VI3 servers be clustered?
I want to Cluster 2 ESX VI3 Servers. Should I use Veritas Cluster for ESX or VMware HA? I am told that VMware HA does not protect from individual VM failures whereas veritas does.

ESX Hardware configuration
I am interested in bringing up an ESX Server to learn more. I have tried the Evals and am now willing to purchase the product. I have no need to purchase high-end hardware as there will be very few users. Does anyone have a specific hardware list (m/b model, etc)? Thanks in advance
