Hey Jason,
I ran across your blog and read some of it,(will finish later). But, i was looking at your video on youtube and i would like to know the steps you used to set up your lab. I have almost everthing you have in the lab. I have an CBT on ESX server and I am trying to find something on the EMC storage. I went to training on EMC Storage Foundations and still trying to break into it. If you have any suggestions or information please let me know, thanks and keep blogging.
Hi Jason, i read upon your interesting article about your lab esx environment. I hope you can answer few of my question so that i can decide which nas to purchase.
May i know how is the performance of DS1010+ on vsphere? May i know how long does it takes to clone a vm template like 2008r2?
Do you feel any lag on the performance when one task is clonning & there are 3-4vms running.
Thanks & best regards
Chris
Where is the link for this plugin VI client 2.5 you mentioned on your you tube video demo about storage…

Hi Jason,
I attended your Deep dive vDS and N1Kv breakout session at vmworld. Great presentation!! are you planning to post it on your website?
Yes. They should be up this evening.
Jason – have you had any interaction with the newest release of the nexus 1000v? I think is 1.4a. I am trying to figure out the stablity of this build as well if anyone has done any testing… thanks for your time. i look forward to your response.luv_lafs@yahoo.com

Jason – I got the trainsignal DVD for the Cisco UCS and was looking for a section about intergrating login with our AD. I tried to follow the instructions from Cisco and also had our VAR take a stub at it. We just can’t figure out why it won’t authenticate. Do you have any tips on this that I can try? Is there a bug on UCS?
