Here we have an overview of the commands I used while connecting two HPUX machines to two Clariion CX340 storage adapters (4 paths to the storage).
The upgrade of VirtualCenter 2.0 to 2.5 is the first step of upgrading VMware Virtual Infrasctructure 3.0x to 3.5. In this article I'll describe the steps I took to upgrade VirtualCenter.
The upgrade is not hard and you don't have any downtime. You can do it during office hours, even if you have lots of VM's running and customers depend on them. Isn't this grand!

A new year, a new plan, a new schedule. And tougher then last year. A few cyclo’s in the Dutch Lowlands and in Belgium. I’ll be trying to ride a good race in the Steven Rooks Challenge and the Shimano Fiets Challenge. Starting from June I will do five weeks of tough racing in France. I expanded the planning of the French cyclo’s compared to last year. In stead of three cyclo’s the plan is to ride seven out of the eleven races of the Grande Trophee, organised by Sportcommunication in France. Like in 2007 the Trophée de l’Oisans is also a part of the program, and offcourse the Ardechoise that starts in Saint Félicien. I’m not doing the 650km but the 420km in three days, because one day later I will do the cyclo in Morzine and I don’t want to get the doink on the Col de Joux Plane. So 2008 promises be a very exiting year!
Every year in december the registration for the Marmotte is opened. Last night I checked their website, and noticed that it was possible to registrate again! Without a second of hesitation I took a sprint to get my credit card, filled in the forms on the website and registered not only for the Marmotte, but also for the Vaujany and the Grimpee de l’Alpe d’Huez. When was I finished I had time to think again and I started to realize what I had done… In just a few seconds I had commited myself to another year of hard work, pain, sweat and tears.
Last week I started looking on the web if there was an interesting Groupware package in the open source community. Groupware can contain a mixture of the following services: email, calander, taskmanager, document management, instant messenger and more. Well known closed source examples are Microsofts Exchange server, Lotus Notes and Novell’s Groupwise. I ran into two open source packages: Postpath and Zimbra. You can download Postpath and use it for thirty days. Zimbra has a so called network edition you can try for 60 days, and an open source edition which you can use freely. I decided to take a look at the open source Zimbra package, and I’m glad I did.

The goal is to use virtual floppy so I can install Fedora on a VM very fast.
Create a floppy image using Winimage software or VMware.
Winimage is very self explanatory. When you use VMware add a floppy device to the a VM, select create a floppy image, boot the system and copy the anaconda cfg file to the disk.
Install linux, in the first screen push ESC, and enter the following line:
boot linux k=hd:fd0/anaconda.cfg
It depends on the info in the file that if you are going to have to add more info in the install screens. Installation can be fully automated. For more info click here.
Hurray, another fine way to control data on Windows boxes from Linux machines. We are using cygwin, openssl, openssh, vi and bash. read more
