Hi to all.
We have a small assisted living healthcare environment with about a dozen sites/servers
One server has 3 VMw4 vms on it.
We received two new servers with ESXi 5 installed. They will host several Windows server vms mostly migrations of current VMw4.
I want to install vCenter Server 5 to manage them.
From my VMware book by Lowe he mentions that installing the vCenter server in a VM has limitations.
He mentions cold migration, cloning and editing hardware are not available.
Also he mentions considerations with using a distributed virtual switch.
Ufortunately he doesn't go into any detail.
But there seem to be advantages such as backing up the server and quick restore when using a vm.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
