GeordieSteve Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Any idea why we can't cancel a task? When we right click (in this case a file copy) "cancel" is grayed out :\ EDIT: We're using the client Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 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! I've just got to play with vMotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 HA is when 1 physical host server stops and the system restarts the VM's on other physical hosts (requires seperate SAN/iSCSI). DRS load balances between hosts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 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.
