VMware vSphere 5.0 Evaluation Guide - Volume One Evaluation Guide Environment Setup The VMware Technical Marketing lab was built using a combination of Cisco UCS server hardware and EMC CLARiiON CX-4 Fibre Channel (FC) storage. The environment consisted of eight identical four-node "pods," with most pods configured as a three-node ESXi cluster and a fourth node for management. In many cases, additional resources have been configured in the Technical Marketing test-bed configuration to support other evaluation projects, and are present in the diagrams. The user can configure only what is called for in the following section and can safely ignore additional resources in screen shots and topology diagrams. The following picture shows the Technical Marketing test rack.
