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.

In mijn zoektocht naar nieuwe informatie over SATA controlers en ESX 3.5 of ESX3i kwam ik de volgende lijst tegen:

Via het onderstaande commando kun je de vmware-tools versie achterhalen op een Linux distrobutie zonder GUI.
grep buildNr /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
Dit commando geeft de volgende output:
Paul Shannon poste het onderstaande op zijn blog: http://www.vm-aware.com/.
OSSV installs directly into the VMware ESX service console and acts as a very light-weight interface to backup Virtual Machines on NetApp storage and non-NetApp storage. It works best with NetApp Protection Manager, but works well as a stand-alone product. There’s also an excellent Best Practice guide for OSSV available here.

Generally this is exactly what we expected: to be able to provide good performance to many virtual servers which do network and/or disk-I/O only periodically without overprovisioning the whole infrastructure.
At the moment there is exactly one dual-port 10 GigE card in every VMware server and there are two physical connections to two different switches – a much cleaner setup than the 12 (!) GigE interfaces per server we had before
