VMworld 2010 – Hands-on-Labs = 7,640,306,790 IOs served
The VMworld 2010 Hands-on-Labs (HoL) were EPIC this year. By now, everyone has heard the final stats: ~140,000 VMs created and destroyed over 4 days ~5000 labs done ~5 people who completed all 30 labs – about 30 hours of lab time = 5 people who spent 8 hours each of the 4 days in the lab. ...
VMworld Labs Report
Incredible. If I was forced to use one word to describe the labs here at VMworld, incredible would be the one. The moment you walk inside of the huge area at Moscone West, all you can view is a sea of monitors and thin clients, with a giant scoreboard hanging... Continue reading

Reporting in from the blogger's lounge
Well, I made it to SF in one piece, despite screaming children the whole way there! Ironically, before I saw a VMware ad, I saw one from Citrix while on the way to the hotel! I feel at home now surrounded by VMware everything! VMworld 2010 is huge! Tons of... Continue reading

Cloud Experience Pt. 1
I've been knee-deep in cloud servers this week and last and I've been trying to gather my thoughts. First let me start by saying make sure you double check feature support before purchasing instances. I won't mention any provider names, but I got burned after doing a bunch of setup...

Fusion 3.1 Upgrade
So ever since I upgraded my aging Macbook Pro to Snow Leopard about a year ago, my XP VM that I run under VMWare Fusion hasn't worked. The performance has been so bad it literally tanks my entire machine and freezes during boot. I haven't spent a lot of time... Continue reading

The World Is Not Flat
So as part of some upcoming changes, I'll be in charge of a network redesign. We're going from a flat, single-site network to a dual-site, VLAN'ed/classless design. I'm pretty excited as this will be the first type of project like this that I am in charge of. I'll be overseeing... Continue reading

Restarting ESXi Management Agent
The management agent on one of my ESXi 3.5 boxes froze up tonight, couldn't connect via the VI client or restart the management agent via the console GUI. Thankfully SSH still worked so I was able to restart it that way, but I'm posting this command up here for reference... Continue reading
