Question : Coookie not storing information

Hi experts,

I am trying to get a web application up and running which we usually use Apache for. I am trying it with IIS7 on Server 2008. Basically we are using a mixture of PHP and JSP utilizing EAServer. I want to store the login, windows user and password and they are not coming up. Here is what the cookie looks like:
username|s:6:"nouser";password|s:4:"null";winuser|s:4:"null";

And here is my code:
Starting with welcome.php:

Answer : Coookie not storing information

What size are your shares/partitions on the Dell? I do recommend using RDMs for your VM storage as Arun suggests, although you don't have any real need to use RDMs except for the fact that it's just an easier transition (again, unless your storage is quite large...approaching 1TB for example). You can P2V your host, then just swap the SAN connection from your Dell to your ESX/i host, rescan your ESX/i HBAs, then (as Arun mentions), add a new hard disk to the VM as a RDM. You don't really gain performance having storage as a RDM on a VM as opposed to just creating a virtual disk, but again it's just an easier transition. Another benefit to using RDM is the P2V will take significantly less time. The more volumes you P2V, the longer the process takes to complete.

BTW...I have a DFS/fileserver that I P2V'd last summer and it works flawlessly. I have 5 volumes, 4 of which are network drives. All of them are RDMs, but I kept them that way because it was easier to virtualize the host (less time). 1 of my volumes is 1.5TB, so regardless, that one I would've kept as a RDM volume.

Hope that helps.
