Eric Sloof heeft een document op zijn blog geplaatst over hoe je VC 2.5 kunt clusteren met MSCS. Dit document is geschreven door Chris Skinner een Technical trainer van VMware.
This paper documents the steps to successfully implement a high availability solution for VirtualCenter 2.5 using Microsoft’s cluster services. There are some basic requirements to start the process. Microsoft requires Active Directory for cluster services. Additionally, Windows 2003 Enterprise server or higher will be necessary. This document was compiled from several sources. It demonstrates creating a VC cluster on the same ESX host (cluster-in-a-box) with a SAN-based quorum disk. The hyperlinks at the end of the document has more detailed information for other types of configurations, such as, cluster-across-boxes and physical-to-virtual.
Chris and Eric, thanks for sharing

Anyway, so what better time is there to announce the publication of an in-depth deployment paper jointly authored by Cisco and VMware. We posted this paper about a week ago on the vmware.com/go/networking site. It’s around 90 pages, so no short read; but it delves into many of the considerations, architectures, etc in deploying VI with Cisco switches.

Paul Shannon heeft een post geschreven over hoe je VMDK descriptor files kunt aanmaken.
A few times over the years VMDK files have been ‘lost’ when a customer has had to shutown their storage in a less than graceful fashion.
In every case so far, touch wood, it is only the desciptor files that have been deleted so the raw data is still present in the *-flat.vmdk file.
It is actually quite simple to rescue the situation you simply restore from backup. Ahaha what if you do not have a backup, then there is another way.

Mike Laverick is bezig met een boek over SRM. Tijdens het schrijven van het boek heeft hij een aantal filmpjes geschoten.
I’ve been working with VMware’s Site Recovery Manager product for sometime, indeed I’m in the process of completing a book on the product. As a companion to the book I’ve put together a couple of Microsoft .wmv files that show a test of a site recovery plan, and the actual run of a recovery plan for really

This is the second company’s attempt to enter the security market: VMware started with Assured Computing Environment (ACE), which could represent an effective endpoint security solution but had very acceptance.
With SRM VMware moves to disaster recovery but differently from ACE, this product is not a security solution that can be used in any environment. SRM is a DR solution for VMware Infrastructure only (Standard or Enterprise edition).SRM 1.0 comes as a VirtualCenter 2.5 plug-in and allows VMware customers to design, test and execute a seamless migration of virtual machines from the production site to the recovery site and vice versa (if you want SRM to bi-directionally protect both sites).
The product allows to define virtual machines groups with different recovery priorities (including non-essential VMs which just stay off), the single VMs restart order, and the SLA for recovered VMs.
Additionally, SRM takes care of which site is in read/write state and which is in read-only state during the whole process.

Sven Huisman en Matthijs Haverink hebben een pdf samengesteld met daarin een overzicht van de functionaliteiten van de verschillende application virtualization producten.
OK, let’s google for an Application virtualization comparison chart… mmm, not there. Why not make one? So we did. My colleague Matthijs Haverink and I have written a comparison chart with the following products:
- Microsoft Softgrid *
- VMware ThinApp
- Installfree Bridge
- Citrix Application streaming
- Symantec Appstream
- Xenocode Virtual Application Studio
* This is Softgrid 4.2. From version 4.5 it’s called App-V. When App-V is released, this chart will be updated.
