VMWARE Design
I was assigned the task to design a VMware infrastructure on a server with 4 physical NICS and 16 GB for my company. An ISCSI NAS and two manageable switches are also available
The request is to have on ESXi host running a File Server, an Exchange Server and a Database server. The data will reside on an ISCSI target. The question is the following:
1. Can the AD server run as a VM.
2: How do I configure my VSwitches for best performance and fault tolerance
3: What is the best solution for a Backup
4: How and what is the best way to create VLANS?
Thanks

In v5 there are a few things not really know about about vmotion I found out yesterday stun during page send meaning you can vmotion a running vm without downtime it makes the vm run slightly slow to allow the vmotion some resources to to its job
Also vmware can now for vmotion use 16 * 1gb nics and 4 * 10Gbe nics whereas with v4 vmotion only used 1 nic
