April 17, 201313 yr This is more of a curiosity than anything, but what kind of allocations/provisions are you guys using for VMs such as unRaid, or WHS, Ubuntu Server, MineOS and such. I tend to thin provision and allocate too much, but I'd just like to know what kind of numbers other users are...using. I am particularly interested in processors/cores.

April 22, 201313 yr This thread provokes a thought: What do you use to gently shut down all the guests in the event of a power outage ?? ... Does ESXi support UPS control and simply put all the virtual machines in hibernation?
