Hi,
I'm new to ESXi and I have a customer who asked me to install a ESXi 5.1on one of his HP DL380 G7, installing as guest Win 2012. After some studying of the ESXi and knowing the infrastructure of the customer I have a few questions:
- the IP for management of the ESXi could be in the same VLAN of the guest OS, or should it be in the same managment VLAN of the Switches, AP's, etc?
- Should I use E1000 as the NIC for the guest OS?
- What SCSI controller, LSI Logic SAS?
- What type of disk should I use when creating the VM for the Win 2012, eager zeroed or lazy zero?
The customer already have some HP switches running 5 VLAN: managment, internal network, CCTV, VOIP, guests.
Regards,
Edgar Santos
