VMWare ESX Test/Dev Setup

I am going to setup a VMWare test environment in order to do both development testing with VMWare and to be able to bring online a "copy" of our production environment.

This test lab will be composed of older servers that have been obsoleted as well as some powerful desktop units.

The goal of this is to be able to bring online VMs that are both 32bit and 64bit - restores from the vRangerPro backup and new VMs. Also, bring online different test iSCSI appliances for testing.

Lastly, in the environment be able to bring in a Backup-Exec v11 and v12 setup to test restorations of our backup to disk and tape situations.
