| Post subject: | Crazy Idea - move my MBE to ESXi |
So the big holdup with running the MBE on ESX is the tuner cards, but with an HDhomerun for the HD tuners and a AnywhereUSB like device for USB SD tuners, could I move the whole thing into my ESX environment? Front ends of course are still physical, or dlna endpoints, but I could reduce my server headcount and justify a beefier ESX host at home. Maybe even use some fancy resource scheduling to bring a virtual SBE online during off hours for commflagging and transcoding. Crazy? |

Not crazy. This has been a discussed a few times now. Even in the last 12 hours. See also: http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... c&start=26 and another thread in the last 24 hours: http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19874 But if you doa quick search, you'll see some other topics. C |

Nice. I pulled down the GA release of ESX4 today. I have some parts to collect for my server consolidation project, but its good to know there are no inherent compatibility problems running linhes in a vm. |

No issues in my config. You should run the appropriate config script in the KM guest so that shutdown and startup works properly other than that it was a piece of cake. I would like to go to ESX as that is VMWare's general focus but I use VMWare 2 so that I can still use the base OS of my server to reach through to non-vmware supported hardware. I collaborate with a number of the virtualization vendors and I can assure you this space is going to heat up and get very competitive. This will be a good thing for the various applications most of play with. C |
