Open-E / VmWare = unstable + corruption
Greeting!
I would like to know if there is any company who successfully setup a server room similar to mine:
• 1 Open 8 TB
• 3 Esx Server
Since I bought this solution, I move from one disaster to another, lost communication between ESX and Open-E, Open-E interface stop responding, corruption of my virtual disk, poor performance over 3 ESX, etc…
So far I spent over 100k$ in this project. Is the technology just plainly unstable for corporate use or should I fired my supplier?
Thanks for the input and sorry for my english.
Problems with deployment.
Dear Anashel;
Depending on your infrastructure it should be very robust. OpenE and VMWare work very well together. What are you using for targets? FC or iSCSI? If the VMware best practices are followed you should have no troubles like you have described. We have many customers with your configuration, using Open-e for the management software and our mix of best-of-breed components for the hardware. If you want, you can email us (my company) at: stelter@massmountain.com or just get back to me in this forum.
