Paulitix Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment

garycase Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment
BetaQuasi Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I cleanly shut down my VM's and then the host - see apcupsd link in my sig. Quote Link to comment
RockDawg Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 BetaQuasi - What prompted you to switch from FreeNAS to NAS4free? Quote Link to comment
