I'd have to agree, XenServer is much nicer than VMWare, though you'll need to initially administer it via a Windows client (later you can use XOA to administer it via the web). I don't have much experience with KVM, but since that is a Linux hypervisor is has native management tools.

One thing I particularly like about Xenserver (especially with version 7 now released) is that for free, it includes many of the “enterprise” features that you have to pay for with ESXi (like hot migration between xenserver hosts, etc). Having many dishes to choose from makes it funner (for me at least)!

Just getting started with it. It's my first ESXi host. Taking the leap from Workstation. I found this blog post before I bought it where someone else was using the same model. https://senk9.wordpress.com/2013/12/17/home-server-upgrade-time-part-1-dell-precision-t5500/ ESXi installed without any issues. I'm doing some upgrades on my home network. Getting vCenter server installed is next goal along with setting up a domain for my homelab. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
