I had been meaning to give HyTrust some more love. After winning the Best of Show & Gold award at VMworld 2009, it is more than worth checking out.
(Note: I generally try to shy away from writing “promo” type posts and the like, however I strongly believe in HyTrust, and what they provide in the [...]
I recently got a comment on a post I had done a while back on VMware tools and Time Sync. While the one-liners there may be useful, they don’t particularly explain how they got to the end results. With that in mind, today I hope to explain some of the logic used when you need [...]
I just received my copy of Steve Jin’s “VMware VI and vSphere SDK: Managing the VMware Infrastructure and vSphere ”,
As I tech edited the book I’ll not post a long review, other than to say that the book is a good resource, and overall a good book. If you are, or will be [...]
Now that I have you at attention, let us take this time to talk of things. Important things. The things your parents never told you about VMFS. First let us start with some definitions, each of these will be taken in the context of VMware Virtualization using ESX/vSphere, and VMFS, but you knew that, didn’t [...]
Doesn’t that title bring back 1996. I can almost feel the texture of the hard plastic shell of the 3.5 inch disk AOL would mass mail me. Useless little things in today’s world aren’t they? Really, with USB disks, iso files and the like, when was the last time you needed one? They are still [...]
There are now four, FOUR ATDG chapters available, HA ha ha!

I can’t say this enough, but if Virtualization is the new Religion, this is it’s bible, and should be required reading all about.
No I’m not kidding either. Found this via Twitter last evening in fact. There is now a Twitter plugin for the VI client. Not sure how much use it is, but it shows how flexible the plugin stuff can really get. Go to the source and check it out yourself.
At least three of these, and laminate at least one. Really.
The VI Toolkit Quick Reference card by Virtual-Al is a perfect starter guide, and quick reference doc for those working with the VI Toolkit. Not only because I’ve got a line or two in it, but because it really is useful, take a look:
This [...]
The VMware Networking Blog has posted a useful set of slides on troubleshooting VMware networking:
At VMworld last September, one of our engineering staff, Srinivas Neginhal, delivered a fabulous breakout session on the topic of “VI3 Networking: Advanced Troubleshooting.” Srinivas squeezed a 79-slide deck into the available time—he could have easily doubled or tripled the session [...]
This is one of those that you’ll want to print out, laminate, and had to all of your co-workers. Really, it’s that good. It’s the VI3 Quick Reference Card. It’s updated for VI3 update 3, and it makes Chuck Norris want to shave.
This is thanks to the awesome work of Forbes Guthrie at vmreference.com
