VMWare on HP Proliant Server
http://XenMaster.com/VMWareBackupVLAN.aspx
I'm setting up a network for an web application provider. I'd like to have your feedback if possible. The requirement is High Performance and High Availability for 10K users. I'm planning to use 8 DL580 for VMware hosts and 2 HP DL360 for Vsphere Vcenter. I haven't used HP for a while and wonder if it's the right choice of servers for VMware and if they can achieve the goal. I'm going to use fastest available Intel CPU and start with 128GB of memory.
Virtual servers:
DMZ hosts
4x web servers, 2 on each host
2x biztalk servers, 1 on each host
2x exchange gateway, 1 on each host
Inside network hosts
2x SQL 2008 servers, 1 on each host (MS cluster)
2x domain controllers, 1 on each host
2x Exchange 2010 servers, 1 on each host (MS cluster)

Re: VMWare on HP Proliant Server
the clariion is very well, in our enviroment we are using Symmetrix as a main storage for all VM-s, and Clariion CX700 ( the CX4 is a new generation with lot of futures ) - for VCB, with getto scripts.
Check the PowerPath for Vmware.

Re: VMWare on HP Proliant Server
the blade is very well, but in my opinion its better to have X stand alone servers like a DL580 instead of blade infrastructure, its for me more secure, and normally i don't care about foot print and also count of cables.
Of course there are pros/cons, this is just my personal opinion.
Sorry for poisoning the thread with this message.

Re: VMWare on HP Proliant Server
Also, MS best practices for Exchange 2010 is not to mix VMware HA with MS Clustering (see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/7e8c9cd5-2d3b-407d-a971-7331dd56c615.
MS Clustering is not supported on a DRS / HA enabled VMware cluster, as I recall. I don't think it will allow you to use VMotion either. I'm not sure if this is true with VSphere but I'm pretty sure that's the case with ESX 3.x. See page 13 (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/sql_server_virt_bp.pdf).
