Don’t know if anyone cares which sessions I’m going to,(Not completely true, some have asked), but I figured I’d test out the WordPress app on my iPad and post my schedule at the same time. If nothing else, I’ll have it here to refer to, if I happen to lose the schedule on my...
It’s a little over a week away from VMworld 2010. I finally managed to get the trip paid for by my current employer. Not sure why I have to convince folks that VMworld is really one of the most important events for VMware annually, but it is what it is. Once again, it will...
You may think you know the answer, and you may even be right. I have found, however, that most will not know precisely what it is, have misconceptions as to how it works, and what the results of it are. I did a quick search on google for articles relating to this topic, and...
I decided I didn’t much care for pictures on my site, that is, the ones that were not included with the articles. So I decided to change my theme up a bit. The font is a little smaller, but I think it reads better. If you care to leave me a comment, let me...
I was given an opportunity to sit for the Beta VMware Certified Advanced Professional Data Center Administrator exam, also known as the VCAP-DCA. The VCAP program, which I posted about earlier, is meant to add an intermediate level to the overall VMware certification program. Having the VMware Certified Professional (VCP) as the entry-level, the...
Last week, I was able to attend one of VMware’s latest round of new courses being offered. From the name of the class and the class description, I was fairly excited. First, I like learning, and I like learning new ways to attack the same problem, and who knew what nice little tidbits this...
For those who haven’t seen it in action. I would strongly recommend checking it out. By “it”, I mean putty connection manager or puttycm for short. Undoubtedly, every single person managing ESX or any type of *NIX these days is using, or has used putty. It’s great. It’s quick, works well, and does what...
Show me a VMware administrator that hasn’t heard those words uttered before, and I’ll show you someone who hasn’t been managing a virtual infrastructure for over a month and they’re only a few weeks away. You won’t have to wait long to join this elite club. It seems that along with being the resident...
Indeed. To extent or not to extent. I’m sure many of us have come to this question at one time or another, and more than likely, many of us decided, not to extent. Why? Because it’s an inherently evil thing to do and you will be smited if you even think of doing such...
So, VMware finally announced two new intermediate certifications, see http://mylearn.vmware.com/mgrReg/plan.cfm?plan=16548&ui=www_cert for more information. It’s good that VMware inserted a new level between their entry level VCP program, and their architect level VCDX. Both the VCAP4-DCA (Datacenter Administrator) and the VCAP4-DCD (Datacenter Design) require a VCP4, but for those of us that have already taken...
