Also do a search there for MySQL; some good docs on that too.

Subject: Linux/MySQL instances on VM/ESX
Howdy all,
I'm new to the ESX arena and have been consuming CentOS instances on
several ESX servers in house. These CentOS instances are an appliance
image my company makes that runs a potentially busy MySQL db. We have so
far been using only locally attached disk, but I'm thinking filers rock
using NFS to ESX host, and most probably there is a best practices guide
published by Netapp. I no longer support filers and as such don't have a
NOW account anymore, but am curious to how well filers support ESX
datastore requirements.
Could anybody advise me on what the standard practice is? Direct attach
GigE links from the filer to the ESX host and run NFS? How many
instances of MySQL can you get away with on an ESX host mounting filer
volumes?
TIA
-Bob B.
