Didn't get to complete this in its entirety. Let me know if you get closer.

Yeah, we run into this complication every year. If you'd like to help us get that sorted (that is, source prizes and help coordinate shipping), let us know.

Been meaning to do an update on this. There are docker friendly rPi OS builds now. I had been using a 16gb card iirc.

Yeah... umm. I accidentally my gists from git. If there is still interest, I'll rebuild & relink.

Thanks for the correction.

Re: VMware VIX – Changing IP’s of a Guest VM

professionalvmware — Tue, 24 Mar 2015 09:38:47 -0000

It's been forever and a day since I've worked with vix. If you have the commands to do this while logged into Solaris, adapting it for use with vix shouldn't be too difficult.

Can you clarify what you're trying to do? Create a tiered vAPP?

Oh my... Guess I'm in. blog.codybunch.com. I'll also have to figure out how to get Disqus going with Hugo, and maybe backport some content...

Sorry about that. Will work on getting them for you.

Re: vBrownBag TechTalk schedule for VMworld EMEA 2014

professionalvmware — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 14:27:15 -0000

If we are able to, then yes, there will be a stream. We typically make that available under the "Live" link above. We'll also be tweeting about it as the time comes. Thanks!

I haven't tried as yet. Did it work for you?

Re: On Hi-Tech Travel

professionalvmware — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:53:40 -0000

Hello - This might be interesting. I don't often use LinkedIn anymore, but the twitter connection might be handy.

Little Snitch - So I keep the OSX firewall turned up. Little Snitch lets me watch outbound traffic as well as more detail on what is talking to whom. You can put it into one of two 'quiet' modes. 1) "Don't prompt me and allow connections" and 2) "Don't prompt me and disallow new connections"

Sidestep - Think of this like a VPN or so. When you're on an unsecured wireless connection, it'll pipe all of your traffic through a remote proxy via an SSH tunnel, keeping things encrypted. You can even turn on compression to compensate for some of the crummier wifi connections. Now, you can do all of this with SSH currently. What SideStep brings to the table is the ability to do this automagically when it detects unsecured wifi (where your traffic is like to be snooped anyways).

I've been looking into iPad Attachable, but minimal podcasting kit. Haven't come up with anything I like just yet, however.

Re: vCO Book – Kindle Edition Is Now Shipping

professionalvmware — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 14:37:57 -0000

While I'm a bit bias in this, I believe the book is still largely relevant. The concepts between versions are largely unchanged. One still builds a workflow or an action in the same way. The examples are also still functional, however the UI has changed some.

Towards the end of our recent podcast with Joerg Lew, he brought up the book and the bits that are still relevant too: http://professionalvmware.c...

Re: My First OpenStack Heat Template

professionalvmware — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 09:20:49 -0000

Howdy!

In this case I was testing against Rackspace Cloud Servers (I've updated the post to reflect this). To modify for Devstack you'll need to change the flavors and image types accordingly. As for the specific error you are getting, you can specify the server name on the cli: heat stack-create Spiderfoot -f spiderstack.yaml -P server_name=SpiderStack or so.

Have been on leave, sorry for the delay. Depends on which version of Cent/RHEL you are using, they may no longer be required.

Would love to see a raspian port... may give it a shot shortly.

Re: About

professionalvmware — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:18:20 -0000

Depending on the use-case I'm not sure vCO would be the best route for this. (e.g. is it a one-off task?). If it's the one-off task sort, I'd use PowerCLI. In vCO, you can certainly read the CSV in. From there, I'd get an inventory of VMs and store that in a variable, and compare the two using a looping example similar to the loop I used in the snapshots section of the book.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Re: About

professionalvmware — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 18:48:40 -0000

Indeed. It's been 4-ish years, things have changed a bit.

Re: Convert & Import a VMware Image to OpenStack (KVM)

professionalvmware — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:44:45 -0000

I've not tried with more than one. I imagine the "qemu-image convert NovaWin2k8R2.vmdk -o qcow2 NovaWin2k8R2.qemu" command if passed the other VMDK files would convert them. Not sure off the top of my head how to reassemble them on the OpenStack side.
