At a meeting the other day – a client for whom I’ve done some virtualisation work asked me to look into a problem that he has had with blackberry handset provisioning with a virtualised BES server. The background is that he has diffculty connecting handsets to the BES for provisioning due to an extremely poor […]
I am often required to evaluate new applications for client requirements and have used virtualisation (VMWARE) as the vehicle in most cases. Sometimes the application is already packaged as a virtual machine or a custom vm is built to test the software in question. Many people do not have the time or perhaps the expertise […]
A typo in a sales pitch from Virtual Bridges gave me a laugh yesterday Using both VMware and Citrix ROI calculators and data from the latest IDC whitepaper, Virtual Brides Verde™ 3.0 VDI solution is 1/5 the acquisition cost, and 30% lower TCO (and that doesn’t even include the storage costs) than both VMware and […]
QUITE Some time ago I began working on options for virtualising a physical Redhat server running on Dell hardware. Given my experience with various operating systems and migration to virtual machines – it wasn’t immediately obvious that this one would prove to be so stubborn. But it turned out to be an epic spanning almost […]
When looking at remote management of your esx servers – from a remote location or even from your phone – the option of Vmware’s Vcenter remote access now offers features than the Vsphere built in mechanism of web access through a server url of http://hostname/ui just doesn’t reach. Its a ovf appliance that you can […]
I recently upgraded my Vmware Vcenter (sic) 3 installation to the latest and greatest Version 4 which has been out for a while. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of the inplace upgrade that is required before upgrading any ESX 3.5 hosts that the Vcenter comtrols. Once upgraded I did have some issues regarding […]
I’ve noticed this several times recently when evaluating new VMs – typically unix based across a wireless link to an ESX 3.5 server. If you are using a wide-area or low-bandwidth connection, the time delay over the network may be long enough to cause the virtual machine to start auto-repeat. To reduce these effects, increase […]
I noted this while researching a backup question for VMware – useful to know that the esx can talk directly to the usb device !! so heres the info Storage USB devices can be used to back up virtual machines. By default, USB devices are supported on ESX 3.x. The USB drivers are pre-loaded in […]
