DRS balances the VMs based on the resource needs. If the hosts are providing adequate resources to the VMs, then DRS has done it's job. If you wish to manually spread the VMs across the cluster, you...

Keep in mind, If you are uncomfortable with having any particular VMs run together on the same host you can use the VM-to-VM anti-affinity rules.
View ArticleRe: DRS Issue - Two hosts hosting majority of VMs
I absolutely agree with the two of you. I just think DRS could itself divvy up the VMs better by making more use of the underutilized Hosts (the R900s) thereby relieving the other two Hosts. I'm not...

I wonder if you bumped the migration threshold up to a 4 or 5 if this would help avoid the "host memory usage" warnings?

Hi and welcome to the forums! Which version of vCenter are you using? if you're running 5 then the vCenter Web Client sounds like a good solution to this.

Hi G_Flane, What's the vCenter version? Is that also 4.1? The web client in 5 is a lot more slicker, but if you're running on 4.x you could also try pointing your web browser too...

Hi AGDave, I don't have a lot of VMware experience. I don't think we are using Vcenter at all. We are only using Vsphere client to connect to the ESXi servers and manage the VM's that way. And we also...

Hello, is this community dead? I can't believe there is no answer for a "Certified system". Does VMWare own this community? Or does VMWare ever care about previous release?

VMware does not certify motherboards, only servers. Just be 100% sure your entire server is supported before blaiming VMware. If you need a fast answer for this, you should contact VMware support.

Yes, it is the "certified" server AS-2041-32R. And I agree with you, I should not complain about VMWare here because it is not working at all. VMware support is just as helpful as here. Thanks anyway,...

Why install an old version? I would start by trying ESXi 5.1. The updated drivers may well be all you need to fix it. The answer to your question though is that the point of the HCL is the response you...
