		<description><![CDATA[When P2V&#8217;ing a server to ESX or vSphere, there is a small list of &#8220;clean-up&#8221; items that must be done to the new virtual image.

Reading the release docs for vCenter 4.0, it is apparent that future releases of vCenter will not be supported in a 32-bit environment. This led [...]]]></description>

The first issue I ran into took me quite a bit of time to figure out. It turns out that if you are not using [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are several advantages to enabling hardware virtualization technology in the BIOS of your servers when using vSphere or ESX. These include the ability to use EVC (Enhanced vMotion Compatibility) on your DRS clusters, the use of 64bit OS guests, and using VMware FT (Fault Tolerance).
Turning Intel VT or AMD-V on must be done on [...]]]></description>

In order to do this, you generally need to provide the software vendor the MAC address to your VM. That being said, it&#8217;s important to ensure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, let me say that in my dealings with ESX, a snapshot deletion process will rarely timeout if your snapshots are properly managed. Snapshots are meant to be taken before modifying the guest OS, and then removed within 2 or 3 days. Forgotten snapshots can cause a multitude of problems ranging from filling up your [...]]]></description>
