Re: What ESX server am I on from a WindowsVM host?

David is correct, powershell may be your only option here. But, it all pass thru VC, so you either need to give permissions to users of the virtual machines to read data in VC or build credentials into your powershell scripts. You may want to post to the VMware Communities to reach a wider audience.

check into the Power CLI. You can download it from

http://www.vmware.com/go/powershell

In case the link doesn't work, it's under vSphere 4 downloads, Drivers and Tools, Automation Tools and SDKs

the get-VMHost commandlet with the -VM option should get you what you want

Re: Hotel Recommendation for VMworld 2010?

In 2009 I stayed at the Intercontinental which was about 2 blocks from the Bart station and two blocks from the Moscone Center. In addition, it was one block from a large shopping mall as well. The rooms were nice and very clean, although a bit small. I saw several other VMWorld folks there as well. I'll probably be staying there again this year.

I stayed at the W which was across the street from the entrance to Moscone. Couldn't beat it for convenience.

No it's not.. you have to pay approximately 1600.00 for a full attendance. You can buy the online version for 699.00 if you can't make

the physical event.

If your paper is selected, you do get a free pass for the event.

All sessions are captured and put online.

Re: VMWare ESXi installation CD failure - Error code 22

2010-03-09T19:41:22Z

Heather,

What software are you using to burn the ISO to cd/dvd? Also, what size is the ISO file you downloaded? Per the VMW download web page:

ESXi 4.0 Update 1 Installable (CD ISO)
File size: 353 MB
File type: .iso
MD5SUM: 7d91e82b2cfb825911bd60a9b28b6bc2
SHA1SUM: acdcc2b68b673075477b5efef49403059c216fa8

If your ISO image matches up with that, I would look into a differnet burning software. One that I've used for many years with great success is a freeware product called ImgBurn. http://www.imgburn.com/

Hope that helps!

There are many good hotels in the area of the Moscone center. I believe the last time I went I stayed at the hilton which is a few blocks away but it was actually a nice walk through the area. Wait until it gets closer they usually have rate packages for the VMworld attendees and it will save you a few bucks or get you a nicer room at a better rate. Enjoy
