Overview

This e-book discusses scripted builds for VMware ESX Server 3 & 4, including optional usage of Microsoft WDS server to deploy a scripted ESX build using PXE boot. Whilst many resources for VMware ESX Server deployment already exist, this guide delves much deeper into scripted technologies, which allow automated provisioning with flexible scripted builds. The e-book also documents the Xtravirt build methodology. This is a custom approach which has enabled many of our customers to rapidly provision ESX servers to a consistent and standardised level. The appendices in this book also provide additional scripting samples and manual configurations should the reader choose not to use the automation scripts provided. The following outlines each chapter and its purpose and context. Chapters: 1.0 - E-book overview and key definitions 2.0 - Manual tasks to create an automated deployment environment 3.0 - Run scripts provided with e-book to configure the automated deployment environment 4.0 - How to use ks.cfg files for scripting, and steps to take for a basic configuration 5.0 - Examples for advanced scripting for ks.cfg files 6.0 - Explanation of an Xtravirt build methodology and how to apply it

Ultimate SSD Speed Tweaks (Windows 7 tweak)

Increase System Speed

Disable indexing
Description: Indexing creates and maintains a database of file attributes. This can lead to multiple small writes when creating/deleting/modifying files. Searching for files will still work.
Instructions: Start Menu -> Right-Click Computer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services - > Right-Click Windows Search -> Startup type: Disabled -> OK

Disable defragmentation
Description: Defragmenting a hard disk's used space is only useful on mechanical disks with multi-millisecond latencies. Free-space defragmentation may be useful to SSDs, but this feature is not available in the default Windows Defragmenter.
Instructions: Start Menu -> Right-Click Computer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services - > Right-Click Disk Defragmenter -> Startup type: Disabled -> OK

Disable Write Caching
Description: There is no cache on the SSD, so there are no benefits to write caching. There are conflicting reports on whether this gains speed or not.
Instructions: Start Menu -> Right-Click Computer -> Manage -> Device Manager -> Disk drives -> Right-Click STEC PATA -> Properties -> Policies Tab -> Uncheck Enable write caching -> OK

Configure Superfetch
Description: Frees up RAM by not preloading program files.
Instructions: On second glance, I would recommend leaving this one alone. However, there are some customizations that you can follow in the post below.

Firefox - Use memory cache instead of disk cache
Description: If you use Firefox, there's a way to write cached files to RAM instead of the hard disk. This is not only faster, but will significantly reduce writes to the SSD while using the browser.
Instructions: Open Firefox -> Type about:config into the address bar
-> Enter -> double-click browser.cache.disk.enable to set the value to False -> Right-Click anywhere -> New -> Integer -> Preference Name "disk.cache.memory.capacity" -> value memory size in KB. Enter 32768 for 32MB, 65536 for 64MB, 131072 for 128MB, etc. -> restart Firefox
