Fun With Virtualization (pt. 2)
This is an addendum to the previous post. After having things reasonably set up, but unhappy with some performance, I decided to scrap everything and try VMWare ESXi. I wiped the computer and got ESXi installed…then realized that it won’t support the Realtek gigabit ethernet card I have in the system.
I’ve now put Windows Server 2008 back on in the Server Core mode and am running nothing but Hyper-V on it. I think some of my problems were tyring to do too much with the base OS, and if I can’t have something as light as ESXi, I’ll do the best I can with this. Thankfully, I still had my VMs saved, but I decided to rebuild my XP one because it was too slow. It was converted from an old desktop I had last year and needed to be dumped. Both the Server 2008 and XP VMs are working fine.
My Drobo however…I’m still trying to diagnose what’s going on with it.
