      (and has NEVER been supported to use vMotion or iSCSI over 100Mbps) in the past 8 years I've worked with VMware.

      Among all the many things wrong, this right here is a killer thing. whoever set this up was nearly criminal.

      Agreed. Slowly but surely changes will be made. Thank god for ML though. For real.

        it's amazing that someone spent all that money on Cisco USCs but didn't put in any type of 1 GB switches.

            They complain about slow network and they haven't approved a GB switch yet?

                Looks like an ipod... This is going to be interesting in the long term. Those Cisco chassis can do some expending though so you may be able to get to a more reliable system with what you have.

                Actually UCS can't really expand much from a storage perspective. They don't have any native DAS JBOD support, and the MegaRaids on them they do little in integration or customization. UCS was never really designed to use local storage in RAID I'm convinced (at scale anyways). They are useful if your using them in true JBOD (VSAN, they are certified for use) or with HBA's to talk to an external disk array.

                Definitely not designed for that use.

                  @Dashrender I am. Thanks everyone. You guys really banded together to help me. I really really appreciate it.

                  You would have been here a lot sooner had you told people to go away and leave you alone. the time gaps in this thread are telling.

                  Yes, you should report this to management that you were hampered not only from lack of documentation and obviously having important information hidden... but that the existing people were fooling around like this was a joke to them.

                    Other thing is get some training. There's some rookie mistakes lurking in that config that scare me about other things...

                    http://vmware.stanly.edu is the poor mans path to a VCP. Grab a copy of mastering vSphere. The HA deep dive book is free now if you know where to look. and increasingly we'll have storage and availability documents lurking at storagehub.vmware.com

                        This is true... But getting some training is rarely a bad thing. 8-)

                          Alright, so I'm going to need to fix some DNS issues which I think @JaredBusch informed me of yesterday. When I perform nslookup on my file server and printer server it kicks back an error stating:

                          DNS request timed out.
                          Default Server: Unknown
                          Address: 192.168.10.16 <-- IP of my domain controller (2003)

                            I agree. Training and documentation are key once this fire is fully out.

                                        That's the one time I normally keep up best.

                                          Things to do.
                                          Replace the core switch with 1 GB or better
                                          Fix DHCP so it gives out two DNS hosts
                                          Make sure both (or more) DNS servers are working/syncing

                                            Less normal daily work I'm guessing for you. I'm just not on the computer or phone much on the weekends.
