We wiped 6.x and put 7.x on, but then what? Since I have no SAN to retrieve data from, they are just burning CPU cycles and warming up the room. The vendor is sending me a USB with all my virtuals to put on said SAN. |

ESXi is small enough to run from an on-board USB drive on a disk-less server, and they probably pre-installed it. It may be as simple as connecting by web browser to the host's management interface, configuring the iSCSI storage, and then creating your VMs.
If the package was purchased from Dell (who is on our vendor no-fly list so I have no experience with their hosts), I'm guessing that they shipped an EMC SAN. If so, you may be able to get away with creating all of the VMFS LUNs on your host(s) using EMC's web config pages from the SAN. It will save you a massive learning curve if you've never worked with iSCSI or SAN stuff before, since it configures ESXi and mounts the LUN(s) for you. I strongly recommend MTU=9000 on all of your iSCSI physical ports, as well as the iSCSI virtual switches in your host(s). Also, if it is still an option on ESXi 7.x and you have multiple hosts, go with the VCSA (vCenter Service Appliance or whatever it is called these days) over installing vCenter onto Windows...

On the twilight sleep you describe, I have had that experience many times. In my experience, it feels as if you are almost floating with your mind disconnected from your body allowing your mind to function with more clarity.

Last dream I even remember was had during a medical procedure, and it was EPIC. Walking on the beach in Cabo, and as vivid as they get. I have never had an A-HA moment while dreaming. I have had many in the morning shower, though. Thinking of my day to come, and back on the day before with a clear head seems to work for me.

Why does this thread make me think of "things I can do in my sleep"?
Like rebuilding an original VW flat four, or a 2002 motor. Or the whole cars, for that matter! Murf |

Nice! Not owning a 2002 is one of my great regrets...

I've driven a few and they were all completely pure. I can say this about older 911's as well. Just pure.
