![]() VMware product: any storage unit (not just a Drobo) will benefit from VMware 4.1 and higher. Do not attempt to run a 500-mailbox Exchange server on these Drobos - or a Visa Transaction processing VM, or 50 databases in VMs, etc. This means companies of up to about ~200 people, with the accompanying load. Positioning: the Elite (and the next incarnation, with some nice hardware upgrades, the B800i) are designed for SMBs - that is, small and medium businesses. O Specifically, the original DroboElite both had firmware and some positioning issues.ฤก. O That said, like those early days, there are some glitches (anyone remember ESX 1? ) I have to say I'm impressed - the team reminds me of VMware in those early days. O 90 days ago, I joined Drobo as VP Marketing and Products. O I'm actually a VMware alum ('02-'06), big VMware fan, run the alumni list, etc - you can check me out on LinkedIn - so please realize I have a bias for VMware. I've read through this thread with great interest, and would like to extend an open invitation to the VMware community. When the First Drobo tanked on me Sunday at 9PM CST I ended calling the EU at 4AM to get help and still had to wait another 4hrs for Drobo US to wake up and issue us an RMA and ship it next day. One other note: DRI support is M-F 6-6PST and there is no after hours or weekend support available. I am hesitant to buy something only to find out that it doesn't help my situation regardless. I will stated that I do have two mis-aligned vm's but there is no solution that fixes this issue with existing VM's or P2V machines that is free. Enabled JumboFrames support on all devices. I set my all of the settings recommended in the BP guide. I have replaced one Drobo entirely and the new one is producing the same issues. I have one VM on my local datastore and it is smoking fast and I never have issues with it. I have a Dell R815 server and the drobo is directly connected to it so I removed the switch from the list of possibilities. 1.03 Firm where has not fixed any of my disconnects durring High IO. I have been reading this seemingly hopeless thread.
