iSCSI Software Adapter configuration using vSphere Web Client

VMware iSCSI configuration Logo

Today we will configure iSCSI storage using vSphere Web Client. Have you ever tried it? If no then do it. VMware says that old “fat” C# client will be depreciated. Right now some new features can be configured only via it, so better to learn it now when you still have time to adopt to it than later. More info about vSphere Web Client of course on VMware website http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/files/2012/11/vSphere-client-comparison.pdf

VMware books – what is worth to read

I heard once that doctors never stop learning through whole life. They have to be up to date with current science developments and breakthroughs. I strongly believe that people who work in IT are the same. We have to follow up with newest technologies, trends and so on. Therefore I would like to share with you books I really recommend to learn, develop and gain knowledge. Books are presented without specific order - all of them are great.

SteamOS is the first gaming Linux-based operating system. The base system draws from Debian 7, code named Debian Wheezy. More information, of course, available on website http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamOS/

I presume that you are here because you know what SteamOS is and you want to try run it as Virtual Machine in VMware Workstation on Windows. In few steps, I will show you how to do it.

VMware vSphere Update Manager

Once we successfully installed vCenter Server 5.5 it is time to enhance its functionality by installing VMware vSphere Update Manager.

What is VMware vSphere Update Manager?

In short words, Update Manager is used to automating patching of VMware hosts. It is really simple yet powerful tool - it allows you easily update your whole infrastructure with zero downtime (if all done properly 😉 ).
