Pretty cool -- slightly larger than my home lab

I love seeing this sort of thing. 3.34THz of CPU, 20.62TB of Memory...

62 hosts on a vSphere deployment?

How many domains is that spread over?

and do you have a vMotion licence for each of them (££££££)

Hehehe Enterprise Plus for the lot. Consists of several clusters (the screenshot is from the point of view of the Datacenter), including a large Citrix farm. Just finished upgrading everything to 6.5. 10G everywhere.

Haven’t tried FF. IE for the flash client and Chrome for the HTML5 client. U1 is a lot less buggy that’s for sure.

yeah so far ie and u1 have been the most stable for me. don't have chrome but suspect it works fine too. glad I held off 6.5 till u1 was out as so far it's paying nicer with the dell and hp gear I have.

I just spent the last couple of days standing next to this bad boy:

Wow I bet that runs Oracle queries REALLY fast. Very nice.

Should fix your Flash access issue until it's released officially!

Yeah found that cheers using Chrome with 27.0.0.187 is working well currently after 27 beta stopped working for some reason. (Think there was a browser update rolled out).

Nice stats.

The consolidation ratio on these clusters doesn't seem great. 2534 VMs over 413 hosts, that's just over 6 servers per host - why so low?

Mine was empty because I took the screenshot before migrating stuff across from the old 5.5 cluster. It's now sitting at 992 VMs on 70 hosts which is 14:1 -- and there are still a few more VMs that will migrate over, so it will end up around 15/16:1. It means we have plenty of overhead so don't have to stress about capacity management (can afford to review it on a quarterly basis).

I'd say we average 60% memory utilisation. CPU is always pretty low. Running at 80% RAM is uncomfortable for me, you're getting close to a situation where you lose a couple of hosts and all of a sudden you're close to the 90s, especially on the smaller clusters).
