Jason Boche posted this picture to twitter of very basic steps to upgrade to vSphere

In the next 2 or 3 months I’ll move my ESX 3.5 servers and VCenter to the vSphere, this document looks like a good place to start to make sure I get everything setup correctly. Right now I have 5 ESX servers in the data center and 4 small ESX deployments at the [...]

I was reading through my rss feeds this weekend and came across a post entitled ‘The best thing I’ve found all year….’ by one of the top vm bloggers. So I had to check it out. He was posting about a Dell tool that allows you to extend the file system [...]
We ended up going with a small vmware view deployment because we already had ESX and got a better deal on view. But the project was rushed and its not installed or configured optimally (not the project leads fault)

Now you can run any Microsoft enterprise application on vmware ESX and get support from both vmware and Microsoft!!
I’m not quite sure what level of support you need from either company. Its it only for companies with EA or does [...]
I was pulling my hair out today, wondering why the bios screen was going by SO much faster since I upgraded to 3.5, even when I connected directly to the ESX box. Turns out that by default the bios screen is set for 0 milliseconds on a new machine. But you can chance this this [...]
I just got all six of my ESX servers up to 3.5 and VCenter updated to 2.5. Now I’m looking for good plugin’s and this one seems to fit the bill.
SVMotion is a VI 2.5 client plugin (the FIRST released, third-party plugin in fact) that extends the client’s functionality by providing an integrated, graphical tool [...]
When Microsoft and Citrix come sniffing around your virtual infrastructure here’s some information you can give them.
So at some point your going to have to explain why VMware is better than Xen or Microsoft. You gonna need something clear, concise and to the point. You could do no wrong by have a quick look [...]
