Advice of external storage for use with ESXi 3.5 (free)

I'm under ESXi 3.5 (free) on a server with internal storage.  I would buy external storage and switch my VM to it.  The virtual machines that I have running on the server are not used very often, so I don't want to put a lot in it.  Can anyone recommend an external SAN/NAS storage device that would work with ESXi 3.5 (free)?  I'm looking for maybe 500 GB - 1 TB connected to the network via Ethernet.

Less than the price of Iomega devices (the ~ $300 model) are sold to a group of work so not really high performance. If you find that this performance was not acceptable, you'd have no way to improve the system.

I would like to use your existing NAS NFS features. If this does not work out, you can always go for something with more umph.

If it is a lab test the Iomega should be fine. If it has an environment that can grow in size requirements and performance over time, you might want to try to build a more powerful Openfiler SAN/NAS.

First try your existing infrastructure.

  • How is upgrade from Standard to Enterprise Version - difficult to migrate vm to ESX server for Central storage for use with VMotion

    Hi all

    We plan to upgrade our current system. We have 1 ESX Server with Standard operating system. Adding 2 more ESX Server with Enterprise edition and upgrading of our current business. We have about 15 VM on our current ESX Server. The migration process is difficult to move the virtual machines in storage Central for use with VMotion. I intend to take the ESX 3.5 Fast track class before you start the upgrade. I am trying to plan a project planned for the time to migrate these courses.

    Any guidance would be great.

    Robert

    Here is a link to the plugin - http://sourceforge.net/projects/vip-svmotion/

    The amount of time it will take to migrate the virtual machine online all depends on the size of the drive, the configuration of storage etc.

  • What is the best external display for use with Tecra A8?

    It is perhaps off of a question, but I'm in the market for an external monitor for my Tecra A8. The price range of 400 euro round. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    What size of monitor you want bye? 17TO? or 19a?
    I read checked the product on some websites and the Samsung SyncMaster 970 19a testing? is not a bad choice. You should get to 400Euros.

    But it's usually? not easy to say which screen is best. I think you should visit some computer dealers and compare external displays. You know that you can check the clarity, brightness, contrast and response time. CA? It's important if you want to play games. It should support a low value. For example 8-6 ms

  • External hard drive for use with FCPX Thunderbolt

    I got a new iMac, but the SSD in it's tiny, so I need to invest in an external drive at least some of TB.  Should I go Thunderbolt because I think it's faster?  I'm looking at Fantom and Lacie but I'm not sure what would work best for use with FCPX.

    Any tips or suggestions for these two manufacturers?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Well, a disc of Tb2 (which takes care of your iMac) will offer excellent performances. If you need these speeds depends on really how ask your projects are. A USB3 drive will be fast enough for the vast majority of HD projects. Expect to spend more for the readers of Thunderbolt2.

    Here is a good article on configuring systems with external drives.

    Good luck.

  • Any camera regardless of the interface is available for use with the LabView interface.

    Hello

    I intend to go for some CMOS camera,

    but I have a huge doubt before buying, the camera of menttioned above is not anywhere in this list. Nor can I see any type being supported USB device.

    The question is

    1. is a camera regardless of the interface is available for use with the LabView interface?
    2. Can I build a VI to communicate with any device image and recording of camera and take the data?

    Any kind of help or advice is greatly appreciated... I have to buy a CMOS camera and begin to run.

    Thank you...

    Hello Virginia,.

    I am pleased that this information has been useful, one thing I wanted to mention is that USB 3.0 has its own standard USB 3.0 Vision which is currently not supported. If this camera is also Direct Show compatible then you will be able to acquire an image using IMAQdx and manipulate all the attributes that are published to the API Live Show.

    I hope that USB 3.0 Vision will be supported in the near future, and we tentatively announced for this standard of communication for the August 2013 Vision Acquisition Softwareupdate.

    See you soon,.

  • What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4

    What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4. I heard some do not work and the automatic switch has problems because Apple tv is still using power?

    I installed on a cutting and not because the automatic switch works because it isn't always. It came with a remote control that is almost as good, so don't mind the fact that automatic switching does not work well. The reason why I chose cutting is because it was the first device that gave me the good picture and sound quality with my AppleTV, the Xbox 360 and the PS4. (Don't ask!)

  • HP: unlock OEM windows 7 for use with another computer?

    Hello

    I recently got a HP computer with an OEM windows installation 7. After the machine (fatal hardware failure), I tried to use the windows key to install it on another computer. However, the key is an OEM product and would not activate, so after talking to microsoft they sent me here to ask if the manufacturer could "unlock" the key for use with another computer (that I build from scratch).

    So all this possible? Or do I have to buy a new license?

    Okay, Ive talked to HP and microsoft and it turns out that the key has been blocked (pirates). So much for the purchase of second hand.

    Looking at the website of Olympus, it would appear that we do not
    There are.

    But you do not need a driver because you do not need to connect your
    camera to the computer. Just put the memory card in a card reader and
    access like this instead. I prefer to do it with my camera,
    because it is easier, faster and uses no battery in the camera.
