A great initiative from Duncan Epping and Frank Denneman, their two excellent books: VMware vSphere 4.1 HA/DRS and 5.0 Clustering Deepdive Kindle version are available for free! I have bought those two books in the past and they are an invaluable resource for any serious professional who is into virtualization.
Update – VMware vExpert 2013
Dear readers, it’s been a long time since I’ve been actively posting on this blog, the reasons being mainly important changes in my life, both professional and personal. First of all, I’ve switched from Systems Administrator at HSBC Czech Republic to Presales Consultant at NextiraOne Czech Republic. This has been
Migration from ESX 4 to ESXi 5
Hello everyone! I hope you've had a nice summer time and enjoyable holidays as well! No such fun times for me, because (if you don't know – which means you don't follow me on twitter), I've decided to move along in my career and I will be moving to a
A fairy tale in IT horror land: activation of MS Office 2010 on Windows Server
In the course of our work, we are all faced at a point with the necessity to implement "solutions" that are against nature and common sense. I invite you to take a journey on a fairy tale where a critical process requires Microsoft Office 2010 on a server to run.
Do your homework
Like many people I follow with interest, amusement and sometimes consternation the war that is waged by proxy between the two main virtualization contenders: VMware and Microsoft. VMware, the market leader, weighs in with the incontestable arguments of proven, real world experience as well as a solid set of features.
Certificate has arrived!
When I decided to pass my VCP5, I thought the hardest would be learning and preparing for the exam. On the fateful day of the exam, I thought the hardest would be to focus and don’t be distracted by feelings of fear and discouragement. I didn’t knew yet that the
Using Virtual Machine custom attributes with PowerCLI for snapshotting
Here's a light one to end the week in a good mood! Expect no complex engineering though, PowerCLI scripts to manage snapshots must be very common around! I manage a small environment where uber-scripting skills are not required. But for the sake of efficiency, laziness and "intellectual effort", here's what
Server Virtualization Workshop
Right after passing my VCP5 last week I was contacted by a colleague from Slovakia who asked if I could provide an presentation to VMware vSphere. I liked the idea and asked in our team if someone would like to attend as well. Another colleague who's currently in a desktop
VCP5 Certification : Pass!
After a couple months of preparation I decided to put myself out of misery and reserved the VCP5 exam at my local training/testing center in Prague. I took the test 5 days after booking it, leaving me some valuable time to review all I had learned, mark what needed to
The VMware Training Lab is ready!
Hi everyone! One last post before the year's end to mask a long inactivity 🙂 The last time I wrote on the blog was about a fundraiser directed to support my lab and education training costs. I was able to negociate with my workplace regarding the hardware, and I went
VMware Site Recovery Manager 5 installation fails with the error: Failed to update Perl installation directories.
Hello, A little article to start the week with. Mondays can't be boring! While installing VMware Site Recovery Manager 5 installation on Windows 2008 R2 I was stuck with the following error at the very end of the install procedure : Failed to update Perl installation directories. After two more
Fix for sluggish iPhone 3G on iOS 4.2.1
EDIT 28-Sep-2011 : Do not take this as a definitive fix. I need to hard reset my phone every day with 4.2.1 – The reasons why I wanted 4.2.1 were very questionable (tilt-shift filter capacity in instagram!), therefore a revert to 3.1.3 is planned, and so is the purchase of
DoubleTake (HP Storage Mirroring Recover) x64 – Memory leak issue in version 5.2.2.1741 (fixed)
Dears, more than 10 months and I haven't posted anything! I've been extremely busy, to say the least. Family life and ramping up work projects take their toll on free time, hobbies and blogging. My family sees me rarely enough so I don't want to deprive them of these rare
A quick spring update + ask your questions by twitter
Dear visitors, I hope you have been well. Time flies at the speed of light, and I realize that my last blog post was written two months ago, with the latest significant IT-related post being at least 4 months old. Saying that I've been pretty busy is the very least
The 33 keywords of death on Twitter
Hey all! Just for fun, I will divert from technical blogging to celebrate the end of 2010 with a bit of humor. I've done some cleanup today on my main twitter account because of huge amounts of spam on my timeline. While removing accounts I came accross a very interesting pattern
