i just downloaded and installed DSS-USB Trial. I found out that only the 64-bits version is working with the ESXi 4 free version. I also read that there's an DSS Lite but ESXi 4 won't recognize the iSCSI Target. So I had to install the 64-bit Trial version. This works perfectly.
BUT, the trial will end in 60 days. Will all data be vanished when I reinstall the DEMO version?
Also, there should be now a new version of DSS Lite but I understand that's not available (yet). Is this also come with a 64 bit version? Or better can I use a DSS Lite key with the DSS Demo?
I know a lot of questions But I hope someone can clear out this...
The DSS Trial version data will be available for the DSS professional versions and the DSS Lite will see the data providing you have a 1TB Volume Group.
1)But will there be a 64-bit DSS Lite version?
2) Can I restore the config from the Trial into the DSS Lite?
3) Is there already a release date of the new DSS Lite?
DSS Lite is still under investigation and I won't be able to provide any other information until the near release of DSS Lite FREE version. Please be patient until management decides which features they will provide.
