The ultimate vSphere4 link collection
I usually don’t link to other people’s stuff but I have to make an exception this time for this awesome collection of online presentations, podcasts, webcasts and demos for the new vSphere release from VMWare (which I will keep calling ESX no matter how many times VMWare will change its name in the future).

VC says:no sir,no snapshot is present but my LUN has no room left..help sysadmin!
Last week I came into the office and had a colleague come up to me even before I took my coat off. (You know who you are!). A VM was turned off and wouldn’t let itself be turned on again. Ok..what’s the story of this VM?

Moving from ESX 3.0 to ESX 3.5 Howto Part II
After all our hard work in last week’s article, we can now finally start with the fun part: configuring VC and reinstalling our ESX servers!
Moving from ESX 3.0 to ESX 3.5 Howto Part I
After running on ESX 3.0.2 for about a year I decided it was time to move to ESX 3.5 patch 1 and Virtual Center 2.5. (VC 2.5 from now on) The added capabilities of Storage VMotion and the Update Manager in VC 2.5 made the decision to move a no-brainer. In the past our current [...]
