I was able to get ESXI 4.1 installed on a Dell SC1425. Not much horsepower but once I can add some more RAM I should be able to get a few machines running smoothly on it. My main goal is to collect performance metrics so just getting the machines online and stable will be a big help.

So, I spent about two hours trying to get ESXi running on my spare PC. I installed two brand new 1TB drives in a RAID array and went to work. I tried many of the suggestions at VM-HELP but was never able to get it working successfully. I went ahead and decided to install Windows 2008 on one of the drives (I broke the array) and will install plain old VMServer instead. I plan to use a few virtual machines to setup my monitoring guests.

So I’ve decided to try and learn LUA without a true comprehension of all aspects of programming. I’ve done some simple PHP stuff and also used Auto-it quite heavily but I’ve never really been able to dedicate the time to learn a complete language like C# or VB. I’m currently reading ‘Programming in Lua’ by Roberto Ierusalimschy and after about the 7th chapter I’ve realized I may be in over my head as it assumes a programming background with most of its terminology and pace. I may have to revisit my strategy and start back at the beginning and learn the ins and outs of programming before jumping into LUA. I will be looking at picking up some sort of beginning programming book this weekend, maybe I can read both at the same time.
