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

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

2010-03-05T19:15:44Z

The virtual OS does NOT know anything about the ESX or whatever system its running, i mean,,,on physical or on virtual.

You have to find a way to know it by usig the Vmware SDK and run it to get the required result by runnig a query on vCenter or vSphere consoles.

just an idea, rest depends upon u.

Re: ESX 2.5.1 - Move all VM's to new hardware

Hi Mark. You should post questions like this on the VMware Communities site, not the VMworld site. The Communities are for peer-peer support questions like you've asked. That being said, the best advice is always RTFM. I won't detail the exact steps but here's a thumbnail sketch:

- Upgrade your vCenter Server

- Load ESX on new servers

- Connect new ESX hosts to upgraded vCenter

- Make sure new hosts share same storage as old hosts

- Shut down VMs on 2.5.1 hosts

- Restart VMs on new hosts

- Upgrade VMware Tools and virtual hardware on the VMs that moved

The 2.5 version of ESX is pretty old so some of the newer features like CPU Masking won't be available. You will also need valid/current software maintenance on your ESX software. VMware Technical Support can help you with some of the details but if you're responsible for a Virtual Infrastructure you should go to training too.

Good luck,

SPD

You need to Migrated the servers and then update the Virtual hardware and update the VMWare tools.
