Re: WDSC in VM

Oh Joe, you're so 2005. 

You've discovered the magic of Vmware :-)

It's awesome for testing and for demo environments.

subject: [WDSCI-L] WDSC in VM

In case anyone is interested, I am currently loading WDSC in a VMWare
machine.  It's VMWare Server on Windows 2003 EE 64-bit, running a Windows 
XP
Pro SP2 client.  I'm not thrilled with various aspects, but I'll let you
know how it goes.

If this DOES work even marginally, I'm going to definitely go out and 
spend
the money for a terabyte SAN, and then I can store images on the SAN and
load them into the high-performance workstation whenever I need them.

The biggest issue is disk space.  For whatever reason you cannot increase
the size of a virtual machine's primary disk drive (although you CAN add 
and
remove secondary drives).  That being the case, I need an 8GB VM to run XP
Pro SP2 and WDSC7AE.
