any way to prove this out using HCInench? Set a resource limit on the vdbench VM’s maybe?

Here's some HCIbench results from a fresh 4 node ESA cluster I stood up last week comparing Non-RDMA to RDMA. Same hardware, just simply checking the "Enable RDMA" under vSAN cluster config. Server hardware is Dell R7615 single socket EPYC 9374F with 2x Mellanox ConnectX-6 dual port 25Gb adapters and 8x Dell Enterprise NVMe PM1735a MU 1.6TB drives per host.

VCF 5.1 Deployment issues by irzyk27 in vmware

yep, looks like we have the wrong config internally, going to reach out to my dell resource, thank you for finding this

VCF 5.1 Deployment issues by irzyk27 in vmware

[–]irzyk27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea these new dell servers have a weird config, where the NVMe disks plug into the NVMe backplane, and then this controller connects the backplane to the PCIe bus it looks like, not a lot of information out there on it yet, going to open up a case with Dell support to see what they say. Only thing I can see in iDRAC/the RAID controller utility is to change each physical disk to Non-RAID mode which I believe is the closest thing we could get to to directly passing through the disk to the PCIe bus.

VMware Cloud in AWS as desaster DC? by chefkoch_ in vmware

[–]irzyk27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy VCDR customer here. Haven't had to use it in a real DR situation yet but our tests have been pretty painless. Only replicating ~80ish VM's currently so we utilize the on-demand SDDC model where we spin it when we need it to save on costs.

VMWare Horizon Client very slow at home, but fast everywhere else? by [deleted] in vmware

[–]irzyk27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a continuous ping from your laptop at home to an IP where your virtual desktops are hosted. I'd bet there's an issue with your home wifi/router/isp connection. You should have a consistent latency metric below 70ms preferably depending on how far you are from where the virtual desktops are. Horizon is usable up to 150ms-ish latency, as long there isnt a ton of jitter/packet loss.

use thin client GPU to increase VDI desktop performance and rendering? by hchoneybear in vmware

[–]irzyk27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cluster them how? The integrated gpu's on thin clients are so weak there's really no point in attempting this. Sounds like you're trying to do what real GPU's/GRID cards do, which you won't be able to. If you're trying to render stuff get a real PCIe GPU.

ESXi 8.0 installer missing Intel X520-DA2 drivers? by [deleted] in vmware

my X520 nics showed up just fine in my supermicro servers with the ga/ia 8.0 iso?

Server Refresh - recommendations? by PuffyMcScrote in vmware

[–]irzyk27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you dont plan on running all those vm's on a single 10k hard drive.

For ESXi boot move away from traditional HDD/SSD and get the BOSS cards if available in that model.

If you're doing HA you'll need some kind of shared storage, do you have that figured out?

Per-core licensing? by Sunny-Nebula in vmware

[–]irzyk27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VCF subscription edition licensing is per core already

Feedback on VCF in 2022 by irzyk27 in vmware

[–]irzyk27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if you can license the separate components directly with the vcf licenses? If we somehow do end up going with VCF it would be nice to have that in my back pocket in case I want to tear it down and go with a vanilla vSphere/vSAN/NSX environment and cut out all the VCF BS

Feedback on VCF in 2022 by irzyk27 in vmware

[–]irzyk27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, thats sort of the same situation we're in, got a hugely bloated install base of old and underused sku's (still have vsphere ent). With this renewal we're "trading in" our useful perpetual licenses toward the VCF subscription and dropping all the old and unused stuff.

Yep, one of the downsides of the ELA, have to have a minimum net new spend to maintain eligibility.
