Why do you boot from the Dell CD first and not the hyper-v cd?
groMMit1981 5 months ago
@groMMit1981 So all the necessary drivers and files are copied from the Dell CD to a pre-installation partition so that i don't run in to any issues with missing drivers during the OS install

@duffyrichard cool, thumbs up dell. My companys does it all manually with HP servers for some reason. Why Hyper-V instead of ESXi?

@groMMit1981 This is a good question, and what i am exploring right now, to resolve some underlying performance issues I have with a required LEGACY configuration and I am trying to figure out which is better when needing to do this. I actually have a requirement for a Win2K server and some Win98 Boxes, and I am starting to think this MIGHT be a better fit for ESXi....

My understanding is that ESXi does have better performance and management tools than Hyper-V, Now I just need to figure out what it will take to get from a Hyper-V config Into ESXi...

What's the difference between the fast and normal initialisation of the virtual disk?

@cptroger The difference is that once you create a virutal disk, on a raid platform, you will be able to immediately begin to use the disk and not wait for 'complete' verification of the entire storage space, which today can takes hours or even days. Once you have completed installation and you have a working operating system, you can have the raid manager perform a 'full verification' and it will change the status from 'quick'.

This is very much like when you are formatting a disk, from within Windows and you have the option to 'quick format' which again makes the entire drive available immediately for use instead of having to wait for the drive to be formatted. This is a great time saver, however as with the RAID option, you do want to perform the recommended steps to achieve a fully verified disk system for the highest reliability.

I allocated 1 TB for the OS (plus I also store the ISO files on there) because I am a big believer that you can never have too much storage and this gives me plenty of space to play with as well.

T410's are pretty quiet in a cool environment. All Dell fan's adjust to ambient temperature.
Why 1TB of storage for just the OS? Surely 2 x 80GB's would have done the job if you are storing just the OS?

How loud is the fan on the T410? Do the fans make a high pitch noise?
