Well, it’s been a big year. For me personally, it’s seen some pretty serious develpoment in my interest in things virtual; specifically, Vmware.
It’s also seen the departure of some colleagues to greener fields. Many were valued sounding boards for my insane ramblings. Thankfully, there are still a few left who I prize and who’s opinions [...]
Ripped straight from the brilliant Duncan Epping comes this absolute gem!
Big thanks to Eric Sloof for this gem:
In Virtual Center the maps function allows me to see whether a Virtual Machine can be successfully moved between ESX hosts (Vmotion, for example).
Occassionally, when you try to shut down a virtual machine the progress bar will stop meaning that the process will never complete in the background. The following steps will allow you to force the shutdown of a running virtual machine.
iSCSI, as a storage option, has less performance than fibre channel ie. it is limited to the speed of the HBAs or the network card being used, however it is far cheaper and I can leaverage my existing infrastructure to put in an iSCSI SAN. The problem becomes, in a TCP/IP network, how do I [...]
Following on in the series, here is the second subnet masking example.
You have been given the network range 192.168.128.0/24. Your task is to break it down into six networks. The questions you have to answer are, how many hosts on each network, and what are the network IDs and broadcast IDs for each of the [...]
After the other week’s CCENT course, I made a promise to start emailing subnetting examples out. Rather than writing and re-writing the same thing time and time again, I figured I’d put them up here instead.
So, fixed length subnet masking example #1 is this:
You have been given the network range 192.168.128.0/22. Your first task is [...]
VMware has announced an initiative which reduces the VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) footprint on a machine by 80%. The rebranding of VDI into something called “VMware View” conveys their goal. They want to produce a virtual machine that follows a user from place to place as they go about their day. And not just for [...]
