The ever wonderful Virtu-Al has released an update to his PowerShell Daily report. This script is beyond awesome in usefulness and should be required in any production VI deployment. Really, it is that good. Also! There have been some mods to get it looking nice on the iPhone.

So the big news last week was that VMware decided it’s time to rename VMware Virtual Infrastructure (or VI as the peeps on the street are calling it these days) to VMware vSphere. The current version seems to be staying on the VI title and the next version will move to this odd naming structure.

Since my first few posts on this got a bit of attention, I thought I’d add some more to this. In today’s post we’ll cover adding or deleting a route, and setting a default route. I’ve got requests for others that will keep the next few weeks worth of VIX posts busy.

This has been reported by vm/etc and vinternals, but I think it deserves quite a bit more attention. Take a moment to read the posts. The free version of ESXi Update 3 now supports read/write FULL remote admin via the RCLI, and the other api’s. Meaning, that VMware took and made it just that much [...]
EMC ControlCenter is Storage Resource Management software that apparently integrates with the VC APIs and ESX CIM APIs to provide end to end insight into your Virtual Infrastructure.

After spending twenty minutes writing an intro for this, I decided to give up. Suffice it to say that there are as many ways to write an intro as there are “Official” VMware Administrator Resources. In fact, Eric Siebert at SearchVMware.com summed up quite a few here.
I also came across a communities page that indexes [...]
