That's the fun part, it's all anecdotal, I can find nothing in black and white from vmware but I can't figure out why a vendor would tell me that either, so make of it what you will I guess, just something to throw into the mix.

"I've seen comments and have been advised by a couple of vendors that vmware don't support MPIO from within the guest, so if you want to do MPIO to the LUNs you might be faced with using VMDK or RDM. " I havent heard this one before we are using the "Dell Equallogic MPIO" connecting to PS6000 arrays via the guest not sure why we would really need suppor from vmware on this side of things. Regarding the files living in a vmdk the system will be fully protected and backed up using veeam if we do go down this route. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin -- MIRA Ltd Watling Street, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV10 0TU, England Registered in England and Wales No. 402570 VAT Registration GB 114 5409 96 The contents of this e-mail are confidential and are solely for the use of the intended recipient.
