Also, this is the official updates to ESX 2.1:
Guest PXE:
ESX Server 2.1 Virtual Machines now support PXE. Using Guest PXE,
you can boot and install operating systems from a network in virtual
machines, just like physical machines. Simplifies administration and
makes it easy to share operating system images between virtual
machines and physical machines.
VLAN (802.1q) support:
Enhance security and leverage your existing network infrastructure
security with the full support for VLANs now included in ESX Server.
New Installer:
ESX Server 2.1 has a new, easy to use graphical installer. This also
includes support for scripted installs, making it more efficient to
install ESX Server on a set of blades, or regular racks, all in one
step.
Hyperthreading Support:
Leverage your hardware to the fullest by enabling hyperthreading in
ESX Server 2.1. On CPUs that support hyperthreading, ESX Server 2.1
can now utilize both "logical" CPUs for the highest performance and
utilization of your hardware.

They only main difference that I saw was PXE boot capability and better
support for SAN equipment (mainnly EMC stuff). It's still on the same
Kernel version. It also includes the same patches you would download and
install from the Vmware support site for 2.0 and 2.01. The installation is
WAY different as it's a true GUI. It also has some internal checks on the
management site (i.e. you need to create your VM Swap File partition and
dump crash location). I still need to play around with it somemore, but I
don't see a huge difference.

I run GSX 3.0 on my laptop. We also run ESX 2.1 in production. We are = in
the process of getting VirtualCenter 1.01, and will manage all of our = ESX
servers with that console. I also run ESX 2.1 and 2.01 in my lab at = home.
I'm going to be playing with V2P this weekend. :D

For those who didn't know it already
VMWare Workstation is out now:
http://www.vmware.com/products/desktop/ws_features.html
Good that MS Virtual Server is capable of runnig up to 3.6 GB of VMs. I
think, that was the reason that VMWare threw away the 1 GB limit. I love =
the new version. We're running about 15 VMs (WI, CSG, RSA Ace Server, PS,
Proxies, Web Server, SQL DS, etc.)with several WMWare Host (all only
Workstation Version, no GSX or ESX) in production since nearly 2 years.
Absolutely no problems and saved a lot of money and time. I really love =
that product. I was alleready planning to upgrade to ESX but now it doesn't
= seems to be necesarry to spend a lot of money for really expensive
licenses.
Everywhere I talk with other admins about VMWare Workstation, they're =
saying that they use is just for testing and demos. Why ? It runs perfect in
production. Am I the only one who made this experience ?
Ciao, Daniel
