Hyper-V (
RSS)
I have ordered all the kit and am really just awaiting delivery so I have about a week before I start building. At this point I’m thinking that I will build the two servers to be bootable from USB which will let me play with the three main vendors on an as required basis, but really I think it will mostly be a Hyper-V Lab. Even with the decision to most use Hyper-V Server R2 do I install to the Local file system or would it be better to boot this from USB too. I have found a set of instructions for...
So I guess it really is Christmas time… HP ML330G6 E5504(1/2) 2GB(1/18) 250GB(1/4) SATA NHP-3.5 B110i DVD TWR 1YR 504055-011 *** BDL W/ NINTENDO WII SPORTS CONSOLE *** $1,538.90 EA Sad part is I’ve been looking at an ML 330 for an internal virtualization lab machine, actually 2 so I can do some cluster configs using Hyper-V Server R2. The Business Investment bonus is something that made me think two might be an option. BUT what would I do with two WII Sports consoles?
Yesterday I linked to a Backup article and book to give some background into Virtual Machine Backup and said I’d explore further today. I’m not really ready to detail the whole design, and I have a Offering Brochure to prepare so here is the basic idea of the possible parts. I’m almost certain to change some of it and it will only be offered by region where we have an office or agent. So have a think about some requirements you might have for backup and let me know if you would be interested in collaborating...
A small part of my job is not to be so much well read but certainly widely read. Some times in RSS feeds I get there are some interesting titles come up and the one from techtarget.com was interesting as the guys in SMBiT Professionals Sydney are holding a Virtualization day today, and I’m fairly sure they might cover backup. Anyway the article by Eric Beehler made me think about how we do backup virtualised workloads for our SMB clients so I’ll explore that more deeply. Avoid the big mistakes when...
I’ve been doing quite a bit of Microsoft Virtualization recently so downloading this book was a “Where do I click?” Moment for me. It is 452 Pages long so quite comprehensive I’d think, if I find it one of those have to keep it with me kind of resources I’ll be getting the print version, just like the NAP and Power Shell scripting guides I have in a box in the truck. The book covers: Microsoft's Virtualization Solution Hyper-V VMM 2008 App-V Terminal Services MED-V and VDI User State Virtualization...
