10/31/2017, 6:41 PMRDM has the RDM Jump feature embedded since v12 if I’m not wrong… - u
user
10/31/2017, 6:44 PMYep, RDM Jump is there and it's pretty slick. - j
Jarian Gibson
10/31/2017, 7:01 PMso it works better now? - j
Jarian Gibson
10/31/2017, 7:01 PMmay have to look at it again - u
user
10/31/2017, 7:16 PMYeah, convinced my boss to get licenses for the whole team - u
user
10/31/2017, 7:16 PMI really like it - u
user
11/01/2017, 2:26 AMRoyalTS turned into a massive .NET CPU hog for me and switched to RDM. Still has some bugs here and there, but usable! - u

11/02/2017, 11:09 AMmy ESXi trial runs out in 30 days, what you recommend, get vmug advantage (200$) or go for nutanix CE? Hardware is Intel Core i5 3.4GHz, 64GB RAM and 2 SSD + 1 HDD - k

11/02/2017, 11:25 AMDepends on what you’re running on the NUC I guess - u
user
11/02/2017, 11:27 AMCitrix testing mostly and it is not a nuc 😉 I do a lot of automation as well so XenServer is out of the loop at the moment. It is to slow deploying with MDT - k
Kees Baggerman
11/02/2017, 12:37 PMMea culpa 🙂 For Citrix testing: Go AHV, you won’t regret it - k

11/02/2017, 12:42 PMAHV is the way I had in my mind, but always great to get some input and ideas from others - j

11/02/2017, 12:56 PMAhv & hyper-v are my lab goto’s unless I’m testing horizon. - u
user
11/02/2017, 3:38 PMI admit I do ESX for the most part. Free licenses though so it's easy. - u
user
11/02/2017, 4:24 PMYeah I don't have free but like the speed of esxi - u
user
11/02/2017, 4:33 PMESXi, Hyper-V, XS...I fully understand why folks would use those in labs. AHV, I don’t get...it’s not like you can install on your own hardware & sell it to clients for production use? What am I missing? - u
user
11/02/2017, 5:05 PMYou can install it on your own hardware. Community Edition. - u
user
11/02/2017, 5:08 PMYes, I know you can install on HW you own. Can you then sell that or did I miss that memo? - j

11/02/2017, 5:23 PMCE has majority of the same functionality and all api as prod - j
Jarian Gibson
11/02/2017, 5:23 PMso you can test/dev with it - j
Jarian Gibson
11/02/2017, 5:23 PMalso try before you buy - u
user
11/02/2017, 5:50 PMAHV just has a great interface and what I tested also great performance. What I didn't like the first time I tried it is that my cpu was using 20-30% all the time for the Hypervisor + management - s

11/02/2017, 5:52 PMAHV FTW! - u
user
11/02/2017, 7:18 PMI don't think any of us are building these systems to sell them 🙂 - d

11/02/2017, 7:41 PMAHV is cool, but i5 and 64 might be your bottleneck - u
user
11/02/2017, 7:47 PMSo AHV requires more? - d
dready
11/02/2017, 7:54 PM - u
user
11/02/2017, 7:56 PMso my cpu will be the bottleneck
