asterisk users - Oct 2010 - dahdi vmware query

Greeting list,

                   I hope this isn't a "lazy" question.  I have
been running
TDM400P and TDM410P cards in Dell PowerEdge Servers for a few years now.  We
are moving from physical servers to VMWARE servers.  What opportunities
should I expect moving these cards into the new machines?  Or should I leave
the existing machines intact and use IAX to get to the DAHDI lines from the
VMWARE servers?

 

Thanks for your input

Danny Nicholas

Only the host system will be able to see the cards, so regardless you will need 
to use IAX or SIP to access the Asterisk instance that is hosting the hardware.
