I have been asked how to do this twice in so many days. So here is a quick post on how to copy files between local datastores on standalone ESXi hosts. There are a number of ways to accomplish this, one way is using scp at the ESXi command line.
I created a backup of the original vCenter database and it was giant, a little over 15GB. I thought that was odd but for whatever reason I did not really dig into it much (until after the upgrade failed later in the story).
Recently I have performed some discovery and analysis on a couple of production Citrix XenServer environments. Both of them hosting Citrix XenDesktop and both of them have been running beside a VMware vSphere environment.
I have been doing some home lab work with the vSphere Storage Appliance (VSA). I have had a few request recently from customers with very small environments looking to leverage virtualization and a couple of large environments looking for solutions for branch offices.
June 4, 2012 in VMware
This was shared by @DuncanYB earlier today and it is so awesome so I had to re-share.
Anyone that works with VMware can probably tell you that application vendors love to point the finger at the hypervisor whenever there is an issue. Invalid password error – oh it must be because you are running it in a VM (I kid you not this has happened to me – almost happened again today!).
Anyway, thanks Duncan this made my day!
