Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] production VMWARE ESX servers

[John J. <jo...@jo...>]

Hi!
I run two DL VMs on VMware ESX. My setup is boot from ISO and configuration on floppy image.
I also use Guest tagging of VLANs to reduce the number of NICs needed to be presented to each DL.

No harddrive for the VMs is neeed in this configuration. 


Regards,
John Jore

Subject: [Devil-Linux-discuss] production VMWARE ESX servers

I want to virtualise my production devil-linux servers onto our shiny
new-ish VMWARE ESX servers, now that I have enough network ports to do
so redundantly.

How do other people do this? Obviously I can use ISOs in our datastore,
but what might be the best way to handle the config element? I suppose I
could put the config on the ISOs and then update it manually, but that
seems a bit labour-intensive, and our mail gateway DL box changes its
config every other day. Using a real USB device would break clustering
of course.

It would be nice if there was a way where save-config from the box
itself would still work... Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks,
Moray
