VMware Hosting of Frontend

Wish to run the frontends in VMware ESXi. The primary benefit is server consolidation. This also provides a good way to make a full backup of the frontend and restore it if there is an issue.

Config

The production and test frontend configs are similar. The production one has additional disk space for storage of syslog output for the cluster.

RX_PROD

  • RAM 6GB
  • CPU 2x
  • Net1 Guest Private
  • Net2 Guest Public
  • SCSI LSI Logic Parallel
  • HD1 20GB RX_PROD.vmdk
  • HD2 20GB RX_PROD_1.vmdk
  • HD3 20GB RX_PROD_2.vmdk

RXI_TEST

  • RAM 3GB
  • CPU 2x
  • Net1 Guest Private
  • Net2 Guest Public
  • SCSI LSI Logic SAS
  • HD1 20GB RXI_TEST.vmdk
  • HD2 20GB RXI_TEST_1.vmdk

Both of these are on msu-vm02's local_fast datastore (15K SAS RAID1).

The first vm disk has /, the second has /export the third on RX_PROD will be used for syslog logs.
