I am provisioning a new VMware certified server from Aberdeen Inc.
However, I have no storage server to backup the VMs.
So I am thinking of using my old Dell 1850.
1) I am wondering if I replace the old drives on the dell with
3 identical 500 GB drives that reflect the new server set up, will I be
able to easily backup given both machines will have the same VMFS
volumes. ?
2) I am also wondering if a few of the VMs from the new machine
with 32GB memory and 2 quad core CPUs would be able to run on the old
8GB dell if need be or does the hosts machines have to have the dame
hardware.?
Thanks to anyone who has time to answer, Techmen
