Just a quick blog about the sessions I attended at the sixth Dutch VMUG Event, which have been hold at NBC Nieuwegein. This event was the biggest so far, 750 attendees! I blogged earlier about the sessions that I will attend so here is a quick recap. First session: VMware vCloud Director presented by Willem van Engeland (VMware) and Duncan Epping (VMware). Willem and Duncan showed us what the vCloud Directory is and what you […]
I recently saw this error occur on a Windows Server 2008 R2 running VMware vCenter Server 4.1.0 (Build 258902) after changing the name of the server. Apparently, changes made to the machine name are not reflected to the installation of the VMware vCenter Converter. According to VMware KB 1025010, this alert could be triggered due to an SSL certificate issue, which would make sense since the name of the vCenter Server had been changed. Here […]

When you install the VMware Workstation software on your system the Workstation services (VMware Authorization Service, VMware Agent Service, VMware NAT Service, VMware DHCP Service and the VMware USB Arbitration Service) start-up type is set to Automatic by default. Since I’m not using the Workstation every time I boot up my laptop (well, almost not every time 😉 ) I’ve decided to start and stop the services manually but I did not feel like starting and stopping […]
Just a quick post about the VMware vCenter Orchestrator. I was listening to the VMware Community Roundtable podcast on TalkShoe the other day and the topic was the VMware vCenter Orchestrator. If you are interested in the vCenter Orchestrator or you want to share your workflows or browse the discussions, this is the place to be 🙂 Cheers! – Marek.Z

There are a lot great blog posts about the HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN arrays (formally known as HP Lefthand). I think the articles written by Frank Denneman are one of the most famous 🙂 . Anyway, a few days ago I had a chance to work with the HP P4300 SAN’s myself when I was configuring a new virtual infrastructure for one of our customers. There were 4 HP StorageWorks P4300 SAN arrays, 2 at […]
Is it possible to boot an ESX 4 host from a LUN that has been “failed over” to another physical location? Yes, it is possible but there are some serious caveats by doing this. Please consider the following scenario: 2 datacenters: site A production (active), site B failover (passive) In each site an identical SAN array; LUN mirroring between the 2 arrays through a dedicated Fiber Channel link In each site 2 identical ESX hosts and […]
