What is the best hardware equipment for the HP DL380 G6 ProLinat with vShpere hypervisor.

Hello!

I intend to install a ProLinat HP DL380 G6 with the new VMware vSphere Hypervisor.

There should be 3 virtual machines: 2 x Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 1 x Server Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. 1 Microsoft Windows Server is for the companys network, 2 othere machines are only Web servers.

Please can someone give me some tips how to choose the best hardware equipment of our G6? Wich cpu (X, L or E). How many cpu? How much ram (32 GB is the maximum of the hypervisor free vShpere)... and so on.

Thank you

Christian.

With the workload that you mention, only one processor (E5520 or better) should be enough. However, you will need to ensure that it meets the requirements of the customer. What I would probably want to start with is:

Material:

  • 1 x E5520 (or better) CPU
  • 1 x Player DVD (otherwise, ILO)
  • 1 x RAID controller P41x with 1 GB FBWC
  • n x SAS hard disks 10 k/15 k (number of disks depends on your needs in capacity and e/s)
  • 4 x 8 GB memory (it works with a single processor and you can distribute modules if you plan to install a second processor later)
  • 2 x power supplies

Maybe you can get a 'Performance' model for a good price. These models already include 2 CPUs, DVD player, 2 power supplies, RAID controeller/FBWC...

BIOS settings:

  • Intel Virtualization Technology (VT - x) - active
  • No Execute Disable Bit - active
  • Profile - static high power Performance

Installation of comments:

  • Windows Server 2003 aligns partitions to 63 blocks (31.5 KB) by default. For better disk performance consider to preconfigure the partitions with an alignment of partition of 1 MB (the default value for the most recent versions of Windows).
  • Start at the bottom with the vCPUs supply you for guests and only increase the number of vCPUs if necessary.

  • What is the function of drive D with respect to the C drive with regard to performing backups of disk?

    I noticed that when I back up the drive 'local disk' C drive D "recovery" appears as a choice of backup also.

    If I look at the contents of D drive, it reflect to some extent the contents of the C drive.  However, it also seems to be very comprehensive, showing only 2 GB free of possible 12 GB.

    First of all, what is the purpose of the D drive?  I don't remember when I put anything in there manually.

    Secondly, I should back up disk and drive C clear D?  Not that it would take long or take a lot of place, but it's too redundant to do?

    Thanks for any comments on the ground!

    D is something your OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer - the company that brought the computer in a package deal for you like HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) put it there in case you need to restore the default values.

    I would like to backup everything.  The worst of the method chosen, it's that you probably do not have CD/DVD to restore the system in the event of a failure of hard drive... so, this hard drive dies and * poof *-you have nothing.

  • What is the recommended vNic to use with a 10GB network?

    We are to vCenter and ESXi version 5.1 and implementation of some new hosts on our new 10GB network.  I noticed that when you use the default e1000 vNic on a virtual machine, speed records only 1 GB.  When you use VMXNET3, it records correctly as 10 GB.  But I've read elsewhere that VMXNET3 is experimental.  Is there a best practice or recommendation of the type to use for the virtual machines on a network of 10GB?

    Paul Salotti wrote:

    The VMXNET3 is not experimental, it is has been around since version 4.0 from 2009, or something and is generally recommended for all machines where you wish to optimize network performance.

  • What are the cool things to do with the zero Page?

    Can you give us some examples?
    Thank you.

    Doug,

    Nice examples are quite difficult to see because you don't see anything. What I've done so far:

    1. There could be some regions you want to stream on any or all pages. To save the copy of these regions (region of sidebar for example), you can make conditional and say: show on pages comma delimited list. This region then displays on these pages. You can even do the same with the items that belong to this region.

    2. you can create a region on the page zero without model and can replace some css classes if you need that. You should write something like this in this organization in the region:

    
    

    3. you could do the same for javascript as well.

  • What are the methods to ESXi upgrade with 1 single ESXi Server?

    The server requires her to get any update through the update maintenance Manager or VMA is not possible that both run on the ESXi server.

    What options are left during a server ESXi 4.0 to ESXi 4.1? I can think of root direct-ssh access and the 'host Update Utiliy', even if that fails with errors.

    You must use the vCLI, then update the host vihostupdate.pl. Page 55 @ http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf

  • What is the scope of queries cached with cachedwithin on CF10? Server or application?

    Hello

    We have recently migrated to CF8 to CF10 and noticed an unexpected behavior on our queries cached.

    We are a news site and have two applications on our server (CF 10, 5.8 64-bit Centos), one for the front end for the readers and the other for the administrators of the site. We have made extensive use of queries cached, always with cachedwithin and always on CFCS. When a user reads an article, request that retrieve the article is put in cache for 15 minutes, and if an administrator makes a change on this article, after the update, we call exactly the same read request with a cachedwithin (0,0,0,0) to clear the data cache.

    It worked well until upgrading to CF 10, when we realized that calls for cleaning of the application (s) were not working. After many tests we noticed that if we call the inner query cache cleaning the scope of readers, then it is properly cleared the cache for the readers. The same exact query called administrators field only clears the cache for administrators, not the readers.

    Reading the documentation of cache I found references to fields of application different ehcache, but I don't know if these scopes also applies to the cachedwithin cached queries. Also, supposed to be the scope of default cache is server, moot...

    For example, queries are hidden with cachedwithin cached on a scope, as it seems? Is it possible to change it so better cached on a server scope? Would be better to migrate to cache such as cachePut() and cacheRemove() functions?

    Thanks in advance,

    (please forgive my bad English, some practices need more to write...)

    Cool, yes Rob Brooks-Bilson has added a comment to my blog article, pointing to the appropriate in the docs page.

    As well as doing the CFAdmin setting, we can also do in Application.cfc:

    Is not the default, but it redefines it to work the previous versions how the CF worked.
