VMware vSphere 5
Updated the dev environment from ESX 4 to ESXi 5, updated all the vmfs data stores, and created an OpenFiler NAS using iSCSI as a target in the dev environment. Great news, that means that we have another 1TB of storage available to us, and we won't have to worry about running out anytime soon. Also great because the iSCSI target can be used as an RSYNC target as well, so I can test backups with out having to spin up another AirWave server.
At this point I'm almost out of CPU on the host. Here we come prod environment!
