Just one more server to go!

Deathmage

Just waiting for another Universal mounting bracket to arrive and then I can setup with Dell PowerConnect 6224 switch between the two R610's for vMotion. She is already configured.

Added iSCSI since I have a 4 TB RAID 5 NAS (that has redundant controllers; 2 ports per) that I'm going to jetty rig into a SAN. - its meant as a NVR but I found a website that you can jerry rig it into a ghetto SAN. It only costs $185 for the shell; the pricey part is the hard drives.

ya man! - I'm resourceful.

Nice! I also made some upgrades/changes to my vmware lab. I scored a pair of 5540 quad core xeons with HT for $60 with heatsinks/fans for my 3rd host, this one will go as high as 192gb, but realistically I'll stay under 96gb with 8gb sticks of ddr ecc.

2nd host is dual 5440 quad core xeons with 24gb, and first is a single quad core x3220 xeon with 8gb (how it all started lol).

Each one with intel pro 1000 quad gb nic, this is way more than enough for me to stand up my server 2008/2012 and ccnp voice labs at the same time and lab until I fall asleep.
