Trenton is the lone Domain Controller (DC) and DNS is configured on it. VCS01 has been added to the domain (crm.netx) but still has issues connecting to red-bank's SQL engine, so vCenter was pointed back to VCS01's SQL Express instance to continue testing (good exercise, backtracking and making sure the local DB connection still works).
Performance trends will provide useful information on cresskill with all 4 VM's up. Start up and shutdown schedules are also being tweaked to ensure a smooth build up and tear down. Here is the startup sequence:
- Uber (utility Linux) needs to be up to make shared storage available
- Trenton needs to start next to make the AD domain available
- red-bank needs to be up next in order to have SQL 2005 available for clients
- VCS01 needs to be up to activate:
......- the vSphere DataCenter
......- the Towers1 Cluster
......- the Distributed virtual Switch (DvS)
The startup timing will move after I run through several reboot cycles of cresskill.
