Potential Problem with ESX 3.0.x and VirtualCenter 2.5

We are still running ESX 3.0.x and VC 2.0.x. I thought about upgrading vcenter first and then just upgrading the servers has time permits. But if there’s going to be odd issues like this, even if its only when you install some patches. I think I’ll try to put together a much shorter timeline to move to 3.5

Heads up—I’ve been alerted to a potential problem when using ESX Server 3.0.x with VirtualCenter 2.5. Quoting from this VMware KB article:

ESX Server 3.0.x hosts managed by VirtualCenter 2.5 must have their Host Agent (hostd) specially configured to work with VirtualCenter 2.5. This configuration is done automatically during the initial installation of the VirtualCenter Agent (vpxa). If an ESX Server patch is subsequently applied that includes the esx-hostd RPM package, like ESX Server patch 1002435, the patch replaces the existing Host Agent (hostd) configuration file (/etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml) and undoes vpxa’s changes. This reverting of the Host Agent configuration file breaks connectivity with VirtualCenter 2.5.

Search for Free! Search Server 2008 Express Announced

Looks like this could be a free option instead of the Google appliance. I’m still trying to tell if it requires SQL 2005.

Today Microsoft released a new Search offering - Search Server 2008 Express.  This is on top of the recently announced Search Server 2008, and of course Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

"Express?  Does this mean, like in so many other products with that moniker, that this is free?"

Yep.  Free. 

"So.. it’s scaled down, I bet.  Probably some limit on the number of items you can index, right?"

Wrong.  From what I’ve read, it’s pretty much the same product as the Enterprise version Search Server 2008 - only without the enterprise-class high availability and load balancing options that you get in MOSS 2007 and Search Server 2008.  Check out this comparison page for more details on the three main search offerings from Microsoft.

And here’s the press release that came out today, also.
