Netapp with ZenDesktop or View 4.5
by steve klise 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Just wondering what folks are doing for making a decesion for View 4.5 (yeah, I know it just came out) or zendesktop. I was at VMWorld and I am drinking the View cool-aid. I know in the past vdi could deploy thousands of vdi machines with flexclone, thin provisioning, etc on Netapps. We have a 6040 with a PAM card and we use ESX 4.x over FC on it (DOT7.3.2x). No flexclone license on it,but I will on a 6080 (DOT 7.3.2.x) with a PAMII card. Couple questions. Are the dedupe numbers the same for both solutions (VM vs Citrix) ? Is the solution a moot point, or would one be better from a performance, and or dedupe savings perspective? Most likely we will have the storage between 2 HA heads, so we try to design redundancy as much as possible. I was hoping to serve up 2000 users on a SAS fully populated shelf on a 6040 and another shelf on a 6080 for 2k users each. These are just rough numbers and I will read the best practices for each solution. Just looking for any feedback. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Netapp-with-ZenDesktop-or-View-4.5-tp29643225p2964322… Sent from the Network Appliance - Toasters mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Lock status field description?
by A Darren Dunham 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

I was tracking down some lock issues with a 8.0 (7 mode) box, and it appears the output of 'lock status -f' is different than described in the man page. Man page example: ========b1000060:0007a88d simcity1775 state=GONE mode=Writ-denyA My machine: ========002c613d:00760cb9 NLM[10.44.128.20,41648]: 0:0 1 GRANTED (0xffffff08d3686428) Looks like more information to me. Question is... What is that field after the host name/IP (the 41648 above)? I thought at first it might be a port on the client, but I don't see anything on the client associated with ports there. So if that's true, it's not a persistent connection. Is there some other meaning that would help me track down on the client the owner (or past owner) of the lock? Thanks! -- Darren
