I managed to get some NFR licenses through work last week, so now I have running two ESX boxes (one Intel Xeon HP ML110, one AMD HP ML115), a Virtual WinXP running under Fusion on OSX - that's running vCenter.

Then a forth machine running OpenFiler providing iSCSI shared storage to both boxes.

 

Tonight I've managed to get a cluster with HA working! It auto moves the VMs (vMotion?) to whichever server is running or has the most available resources. Wheeeeee! :D

 

I've just got to play with vMotion

Well...they both work whatever they're called.

 

DRS put the VM client on the machine with the most resources, then HA switched it back to the lesser machine when that one was shutdown.

 

Why they feel the need to call all these things different names is beyond me. They should just sell VI with everything in and be done with it.

Citrix has just released Xenserver with Xenmotion for free...
