    #CLUS So is it better to use a Boot from SAN or AutoDeploy with UCS & vSphere 5.x ?

    RT @VirtSecurity: #CLUS is BfSAN or AutoDeploy better for UCS & vSphere 5? < do you prefer Coke or DP, Ford or Chevy, paper or plastic? :)

    I think the Boot from San vs Autodeploy really comes down to whether you don't mind the additional complexity of AutoDeploy #CLUS

    I think you could build a nice poor man's stateless with Autodeploy and local disks #clus

    Just as you make design decision based on boot local vs boot from SAN. boot from san and stateless help highlight #UCS capabilities #CLUS

    I agree with @Josh_Atwell as to complexity of Autodeploy. If you have the space and LUNs it's much easier to BfS as it's all in there #clus

    @DuncanYB I agree 100% I have found it a pain at times. My personal preference is AutoDeploy #CLUS

    #CLUS I keep thinking about how it would be to use the AutoDeploy and a PXE boot with the #UCS. & #UCS blade/slot profiles

    @DuncanYB However on non-VMware systems on #UCS there is incredible value from Boot from San #CLUS

    BFS always. I don't allow local disk in our UCS systems. Although I here there will be local flash cards in the M3's ? #clus

    @TheJasonNash @DuncanYB Do you have customers running AutoDeploy? #CLUS

  22. BfS with #CiscoUCS is relatively easy with the policies - see here you just point to the controller targets twitpic.com/ajsvf1 #clus

    Anyone using the iSCSI boot? Worked for me, but not as "easy" as BFS. But it makes a good SAN backup if you DD over to iSCSI. #clus

    #CLUS with AutoDeploy and PXE boot you can tie #UCS profile to MAC addr to reserve DHCP addr for system config assigment. Right?
