Re: Is VMware the Novell of Virtualization?

Obsolete? Uh, no. Commoditized? Possibly. But definitely not obsolete.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the comment. Now that I'm back from VMworld, I'll focus on getting my notes on the blog. The rest of this week I'm pretty busy, so look for them early next week.

Thanks,

Hi Theron,

Are you with a VMware partner? If so let me know which one and I'll have
him add you to his distro list. If not, I'll continue to repost his work
here, but with the NDA and partner specific "stuff" removed.

Thanks,
Aaron

Yeah, the moving company got the playset. I'm not going near that thing
again! :)

Thanks,

Re: VMware Infrastructure Client on Ubuntu … an Update

Aaron Sweemer — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:30:18 -0000

I've actually switched my focus to getting the vSphere client to work on
wine, because with the vSphere client you can connect to both vCenter2.5 and
vCetenter4. Once (if) I get it working, I'll post an update. Sorry for the
delay.

Re: Thinking about upgrading to vSphere 4? It’s a no brainer.

Aaron Sweemer — Thu, 28 May 2009 06:49:05 -0000

That's a good point and, you're right, I should've mentioned the
requirements to upgrade in the post. The official VMware HCL should always
be checked to verify a server is supported before doing an upgrade or a
fresh install. You can find the HCL here
http://www.vmware.com/resou.... I just checked
the HCL and a search for supported systems for ESX4 returned 772 results, as
opposed to over 1400 results when searching for all ESX3.5 supported
systems. Thanks for keeping me honest Shane :)

Re: Are you studying for the VCDX Enterprise Admin Exam?

Aaron Sweemer — Thu, 28 May 2009 06:47:48 -0000

Hi GauranG,

Thanks for your note. I actually don't have a mailing list right now, but
I'm thinking about starting one. If I do, I'll add your name to this list.
For now, I think the best way for you to get proactive updates when I post
my VCDX study notes would be to subscribe to the RSS feed, which you can
find here ... http://feeds.feedburner.com....

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi James and Raphael,

I got your emails with the error output. Sorry for the delay. I've been
traveling, as well as preoccupied with studying for the VCDX exam. I'll be
back home (where my lab is) this weekend where I should be able to take a
closer look and, if necessary, try to replicate your environment (i.e.
combination of ubunutu and wine). If you've made any progress since your
last comment, please let me know.

Thanks,
Aaron

Can you send me the full error output? What version of Wine are you
running? And what distro / kernel version do you have?

Thanks,

They certainly make it easy :) Maybe I should try to trade the engineer
title for the title of account manager? hmmmm. Nah :)

Hi Victor,

Can you send me a copy of the changes you made to the proxy.xml file? Also,
can you tell me the version of VirtualCenter you're using.

You shouldn't have to reinstall VirtualCenter. Just restoring the proxy.xml
file to its original state and restarting the service should be all you
need.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Jared,

Sorry I'm just getting back to you. Somehow I missed your comment.

Thanks for for the info on how to do this in ESXi. I'm going to stand up an
ESXi server here shortly and I'll let you know if I have any issue with your
proceedure.

Yes, right now I see the same thing with the VM system consoles. But this
is going to be harder to troubleshoot because the consoles are run from a
separate executable, vmware-remotemks.exe. And the problem is
vmware-remotemks.exe can't be directly executed, it has to be launched from
within the client. So right now, I don't know where the breakpoint is. If
I get some time this weekend, I might try to run a ThinApp'd version of the
the VI, where the vmware-remotemks.exe would be launched from within a
ThinApp bubble. I'll let you know how it goes.

Any other progress on your end?

*Thanks!
Aaron

I couldn't agree more. I think "cowardice" is giving the anonymous commenter's too much credit.

Re: Eating the Dog Food (my Conversion to a Dedicated Virtual Desktop)

Aaron Sweemer — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 21:33:19 -0000

Believe it or not, I actually had not read your post, nor did I read your
Jan 13th post, "Eating our own dog food." Pure coincidence. And very eerie
that I happened to pull the same quote from Wikipedia.

*Looks like I need to start reading your blog more often, else I'll be
branded a copy cat! *If it's OK with you, I'd like to simply say ... great
minds think alike :) *
