How too many vCPUs can negatively affect performance | Gabes Virtual World

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/01/03

Interesting:

Think twice before you give VMs extra vCPUs which they don’t really need. You can negatively impact the performance of your environment since the vmkernel has to try and find a time slot in which it can give all vCPUs access to the physical cores.

From my paper archives: early QuickReport materials and BDE network installation tips

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/01/01

[WayBack] While cleaning up my “attic”, I came across some old QuickReport 1.0 documents and BDE installation tips so I scanned them.

I think the first document is by this Lars Søndergaard.

The last is by Dave Robinson, then working at Amber Computer Systems Inc, but I could not find on-line activity of him If you know him, please let me know his on-line contact info.

Glad I found out about the string to add to a .RDP file to make it connect to the administrative console whenever your remote supports that:

connect to console:i:1
