Furoris News

Updated the 'Ultimate Deployment Appliance (UDA 1.4) and ESX 3.5' article in the 'Tech Tips' section to include the vSwitch config and the unsupported vmotion configuration during a scripted install. How VMware would know the config was done during a scripted install, who knows! Just don't tell them!!

Added for few technical articles over the past week or so - have to too busy to manage much else; but this new section is there now, acesible from the menu at the top of the News Site - 'Tech Tips' and you guessed it, its where the Furoris Tech Tips are!

They are they as much for us as the rest of the community, enjoy.

We virtualised more non-Windows physical servers last week - the more Unix/Linux hosts we virtualise, the more the strategy is reinforced; there is no straightforward process that works for every flavour of Linux/Unix currently supported by VMware as a Guest OS.

For example, a while back we P2V'd some Scientific Linux servers, and despite not being officially named on the 'Guest OS' guide, they are basically Red Hat - they even look like Red Hat, the servers run fine. How we P2Vd them, for one reason or another was not straight forward.
