We plan to move these VMs to our data center by midyear 2011. We want to insure that these VMs are portable. The chips in our data center will be Intel Xeon. We expect to do a simple VM copy and do not need v-motion. Does this all seem right?
We're planning to use VMware vSphere Essentials Kits to manage the VMs. This will be a Carinet responsibility to setup the Essential Kits on all VMs, SFGov should be able to connect to the VMs remotely via vSphere Client.
Carinet Responsibilities
- Provision hardware
- Provide 3 VMs
- VMWare version 4.1
- install Centos 5 64-bit on each VM
- install Apache web server on the web server VM only
- install package manager (yum or Apt-get)
