WP-vSphereStats : In the wild

virtu_waff

I told myself I would post the first person in the wild that used my vSphere Stats WordPress plugin. And here is the first I found from Steve’s site: www.virtualizationandwaffles.com

Cool environment Steve!

Now I wonder who will have the biggest?

Show And Tell : First vSphere Plugin for WordPress!

Crazy

I can’t wait to see what crazy stuff you come up with next…

That was something Chad Sakac told me a few months ago. Back before my latest Celerra VSA version (get it here), or my UIM appliance (sorry that one is vSpecialists eyes only right now).

I really have not done anything off the wall recently. Most of my day to day effort is dedicated to absorbing the information fire-hose that my team deals out on a daily basis. I have a couple of side projects I have been wanting to catch up on but they are all to big to start at the moment.

And to be honest it has been getting to me. I like contributing to the vSphere community and it has been a while (in my head at least) since I released something for that [...]

VCP 4 & VMworld – First to Pass!

So on a whim I decided to take the VCP 4 test at VMworld in the Marriot. My new Senior guy, Justin, had studied and was booked. So I decided to follow him up to the table. I asked the girls if I could go ahead and register to give it a shot. They said sure and a few minutes later I was in front of the exam.

Well, long story short, I passed it, and was the first one to have passed it at VMworld 2009. I definitely wasn’t the highest scoring of the bunch (Justin passed with quite a bit higher score). But, I did pass without studying. I haven’t had time to really study for it since I am working on the CCNP (thanks again Train Signal!) and Microsoft EA exams.

So I kind of feel like the lucky guy [...]

My first plane to VMworld

Here is my first plane to VMworld:

Retrospective Thanks (VMware, Dell, Cisco, EMC)

In my career I was a late starter and fast riser. It wasn’t too long ago I was plugging in monitors and crawling under desks (a job I still highly respect). I owe a lot of my success to my supportive Wife who while she was raising my children, let me spend hours reading complete histories of LAN switching or reference book on WAN protocols. Not to mention every RFC under the sun. I owe a lot to my aggressive nature of never losing a fight whether it was an annoying Outlook bug, or an 801.X config that wouldn’t work right. But I also owe a lot to the technologies that I invested my time and effort behind who ultimately made my career. I bet on certain companies and technologies and they came through for me time and again. And so in this short [...]

Links : Exchange 2007 NLB & VMware

I am working on a NLB with Windows 2008 servers and Exchange 2007 Hub Transport and Client Access roles right now.

There is a lot of good information out there but I thought I would list a couple links I found relevant to VMware and Exchange 2007 SP1:

VMware & NLB MS NLB Team Blog Load Balancing Exchange 2007 Client Access Servers using Windows Network Load-Balancing Technology Implementing a NLB Cluster Deployment Options for Hub Transport Servers How to Configure the Availability Service for Network Load Balanced Computers

If you have good recommendations let me know and I will add them here.
