Hello,
I've been running ASG v8 on ESXi for quite some time now. I installed using the Astaro ESX image running on top of vSphere (ESXi 4.1).
Recently I found out that the Astaro ESX image is 32-bit, while Astaro v8 can now be installed with a 64-bit kernel. As my hardware and ESXi 4.1 support running 64-bit guest OSes, I am wondering if there would be *any* gain in not using the Astaro ESX image, but install from ISO in 64-bit mode.
As far as my knowledge goes, I would say no (as Astaro will not need a lot of memory in my environment), but I could be wrong ... any ideas?
Additional question:
- when using the Astaro ESX image you get an 'old' v4 virtual machine version in ESXi ... I have upgraded this to v7 ... was this a good idea (why or why not) for performance reasons?
- there is also no explicit information on how to install on ESX/ESXi 4 in the readme file with the Astaro ESX image (although it does says something on how to install on ESX/ESXi3.5)
