    RAID for Dell host ESXi 5.0

    We're getting ready to switch from Virtual Iron (killed by Oracle) to vmware. VI runs diskless so we have a pile of pulled RAID cards from our current hosts which are all PowerEdge 1950s. I have in front of me SAS 5/i, SAS 6/i, and PERC 5i cards. The SAS cards are basic RAID 0/1 cards w/ no batt...

    ADPREP on Win2K SP4

    Trying to run ADPREP on Win2K to add a Win2K8 DC. ADPREP /forestprep is failing with error(31). Log files says 'not enough space on the disk'. This POS machine has 730mb free out of 4g, so how much space could this process actually need?! Any suggestions?

    TS (RDP) slow to respond initially

    I have a Win2K3 R2 TS server with 10 users. Not sure what was enable or changed to cause this, but there is a long delay (20-30 sec) before the RDP client connects. No delays with other networking to this machine though. Any ideas? I'm thinking this may be a common thing with Win2K3 TS and...

    SAN OS of any kind?

    I am looking at migrating my data over to a new SAN in the near future. Right now we're looking at EqualLogic stuff. On top of that we're thinking about the old storage units we'll have left on hand. It would be a huge waste to drop them as it's 1.4TB x2 units. These units are direct attached...

    GL145 G2 PCI slots

    I have a new GL145 G2 that has 2 PCI-X 133mhz slots. According to the specs it can take a regular PCI 66mhz PCI card. There is no mention though of 33mhz PCI cards which is pretty much still the market right now. Should a 33mhz card work in this system?
