Surprisingly once you get SCVMM 2012 up and running it's mildly decent. Although the fact that it copies the ISO from the library to the local server the VM is on seems kind of idiotic to me.
The P2V works great, however. Don't even bother doing a V2V it'll take like 100 times longer.
Seriously, whatever hairs I have left that aren't gray are going to be gone this week. :lol:
So I finally got my pools sorted out, and am re-deploying my finished test template. Everything seems to be going swimmingly and I'm starting to have faith in vMware again..
And then....
First, for whatever reason I think I'm running into storage i/o issues. My ESXi host is a 4-CPU/4-Cores-Each beast with 196GB of RAM and I'm only spinning up 5 VMs right now. It has a trunked 10GB connection to an iSCSI SAN. That should be fucking awesome for running 5 Win7 boxes, right?
Well, if I have 5 VMs on, it's no problem. But if I go to deploy a template, all 5 of them BSOD at once. This happened a few times, and I'm looking at my switch traffic (which is uber low), and then the ESXi host itself freezes.
A few reboots later, now it's up, but one of my iSCSI targets is missing. Go to re-add it, it adds, but instantly gets flagged as Dead. Of course, that LUN is where my fucking happy finished template is.
To anyone else, I'd say "You'll never drop six figures on a SAN anyway so don't worry about it." but you being you, I really wouldn't be all that surprised. :lol:
Yeah, pretty much. And it's still far better than dealing with physical machines.
