Could someone explain (or point out a tutorial) on moving a thin-provisioned VMDK from the datastore on one server to the datastore on another? This is for ESXi-free, so vCenter is not available, no vMotion, no Storage vMotion. If you just "download" the disk using vSphere client (or the...

Sorry for the long post. I upgraded a test server to Solaris 11.1 from 11/11 a few days ago. After I did the upgrade my one VLAN-based network connection stopped working. I've been messing with it for days and am a bit baffled. Note that everything was up and working just before the upgrade...

Time to clear out the parts closet... Unless otherwise noted, all items are used and sold as is. All items are believed to be working - either recent working pulls, bench tested or just confident. Offered as-is, but will accept 7 day returns for DOA. All prices include shipping to US...

Looking for a SATA card compatible with ESXi 5.0. I am building a new system with 11 drives using passthrough of a 9211-8i and the on-board SATA ports. Unfortunately the passthrough in ESXi 5.0 requires me to pass through the entire on-board SATA controller, meaning I am left with no on-board...

I've been doing some testing of napp-it/SE11 under ESXi 5.0. Most interesting result so far is that the Solaris 11 boot instability with more than 2 vCPUs seems to be cleared up. I've tested several restarts with every combination of vCPUs up to 8 cores. It boots stable every time regardless...

I'm not an apple guy so I'm not sure where to go with this. My son has an external USB drive that had two partitions on it - one HFS+ and one NTFS. He's decided to delete the NTFS partition and wants the whole drive for his Mac filesystem. I fired up gpartd on a stand-alone system and have...

I have a conundrum... I'm currently running Hyper-V with all windows-based clients on my server (Server08, WHS, etc). The server is built in a Norco 4220 case with all 20 drives populated, all running on a single HBA + expander. All of the clients run their OS on VHD, but data drives are...

I'm looking for a router / router software to work with an IPv6 tunnel broker. I'd rather not get into a discussion about whether or not IPv6 is necessary... Right now, without going to enterprise class Cisco/Juniper gear, all I can find that will work is dd-wrt. I'm not sure I'm completely...

Opening the hornets nest (maybe). I've got the itch to upgrade and thought I'd toss this loaded question out there once again. I do video editing of youth sport videos as a hobby. My main editing workstation is a pretty fair beast. Dual Xeon x5550, 24GB ECC ram, 8x2TB Hitachi in Raid6 using...

Can any tell me or post a link to the dimensions of the stock coolers shipped with the I5-661 and I5-655K? Mainly need details on height. Need to know if it is low-profile enough for my build.
