Re: Linux, VSWITCH, and??

Re: Question re communicating with VM guest machine

An easy solution is from the guest virtual machine link to the disk where the file is located at first level (the 5.2.0 level), then attach that disk to a virtual machine at 2nd level (5.3.0 level) access the disk and then copy the files. I think this use to be documented in the old migration

Re: Metro Mirror and SLES9

I am not running on a DS8100, but taught it since it came out. So this is a guess. Since the Global mirror function is within the DS8100 and it is at a LUN level, it should work just like it does in a native open system environment. You should be able to script this with the DS8000 Command

Re: Guest Lan/VSwitch/VLAN

In my opinion you are much better off using VSWITCH's. It is one layer less in the path length and you don't have to have a host to perform routing. The vswitch also supports layer 2 routing rather than layer 3 (more efficient). Thanks, Gary L. Detro Senior IT Specialist 1177 S. Belt Line
