Hi!
Great! I have just started my participation in a project to design VMWare + DS8000 environment in which we must visualize about 60 Windows 2000 and 2003 32 bit.servers currently running on physical machines. Although I am very experienced with SAN, I have no experience using it with VMWare. That guide saves my life!

Well its 9.26pm and everyone has been at home for hours, probably snug in the warm cotton land of domestic bliss, as for me… well Im spending my evening in the data center trying to get the best out of our SAN so that datastage can shine on a 64bit Linux virtual platform and Im starting to agree with Jon, its almost impossible to get to that wonderful land of make believe VMware tells us about.
Im down to one last issue, reads on the 64bit win 2003 with SQL 2005 are ok , but writes are the issue and not along have the 6 sole beers not inspired any wisdom, but none of the team have any idea what could be causing this issue. All updates, firmware, drivers etc are current, but still the issue remains

WHo has had a bad experience of doing commercial deals with VMWare?
