Default UniVerse and VMWare - 02-09-2007 , 10:35 AM






I am currently running UniVerse 10.1.1 on RHEL AS3 and thinking about
moving the environment "virtual" using the enterprise VMWare product
(ESX 3.01).

Is anyone else doing this? Any performance issues or issues in general
that I should be aware of?
thanks

Lance,

I'm afraid ESX is overkill. This VMWare variant works on high-end
hardware only. Once ESX Server is a sort of operating environment, one
needs to take time to learn it, and I suspect the learning curve
wouldn't be that short. ESX differs much from other VMWare products.
By the way you didn't mention any circumstances forcing you to have a
look over VMWare.

Why not to leave UV running on RHEL as is?

VMWare Server (1.0.1 currently) is a perfect and exceptionally stable
product, which is freeware now. But there should be reasons to use it.

Hello Nick.
My company is already running the ESX product so we have the
infrastructure. I was asked internally if the UniVerse environment
would operate properly on ESX so my question was more exploratory.
There is no compelling business reason to move off the RHEL operating
system. UV & RH have functioned flawlessly for nearly 9 years now.

Thanks
