Amahi Forums

Probably true. Thanks for the pointer, found the setting. What is best to put for search domain? Right now it's the HDA domain, but once I switch things over I presume it would need to be changed, right?

I have been playing around with Esxi this weekend on an old amd x2 2.9Ghz 5GB RAM test bed, I plan on getting an AM3+ x8 FX-8120 and 16GB RAM for my final build. I plan on giving amahi 2 cores and 3GB ram. Then use the other cores/ram for the other vm's I plan on doing.

I managed to do a live convert of my current Hda to the esxi server minus the greyhole drives using vmware converter standalone client/server.

At first it wouldn't boot until I used a live cd of ubuntu-secure-remix-12.10 64bit and done a boot repair following this guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/139121/g ... -dual-boot

Now its booting it just gives me some errors about the greyhole drives at boot.I did have to change the IP and disable the dns dhcp server after it booted up so it wouldn't conflict with my current Hda.

I am not sure for my final build If I should do a live convert and re-add the greyhole drives after the conversion is done, Or do a clean install of Amahi and add the greyhole drives.

Anyone know the pros/cons of Esxi vs proxmox ?

The initial advantage I think Proxmox has over ESXi includes:

• - no limit on hardware expansion (ESXi limits the cores/socket and the RAM per socket on the free version)
  - openVZ containers (Linux-only containers that use kernel-sharing and resource sharing on the host machine, to have several OS containers. There are limitations, but some people have reported up to 200 openVZ instances on a single hardware box)

If you want pros and cons, join the proxmox forums and the esxi forums and read up what people complain and praise about. It's a decent approach. If you need hands-on, run each hypervisor inside virtualbox .... yes a hypervisor inside a VM.. it will let you interact with it and decide if it's to your liking.
