api for unsupported RAID array

2010-09-04T20:10:33Z

The servers we are using with esxi have an unsupported RAID array and was wondering if we could create an API to fix the problem we are having with this raid array. I am desperate and we need a solution to fix our issue. The server works but we need to make it so the people in the field can setup it up with out dealing with a certain complication we have with the RAID. Basically the RAID does not see the virtual drive it sees both drives and sometimes works when you install it and sometimes it does not work. We need to make it so that ESXi sees one virutal drive and installs into that drive. Please let me know if this is possible at all

The judges reviewed newScale 9, the latest version of our market-leading newScale FrontOffice™ Suite software, with its self-service IT storefront, policy-based controls, lifecycle management, and orchestration for private or hybrid clouds.

Why did we win? The judges said: "An innovative " app store for the enterprise," newScale 9 has a user-friendly interface that lets you order, receive and deploy applications in your private cloud infrastructure. "

They selected newScale as the winner in the private cloud category because our software "brings the iPhone experience to the enterprise."

OK, who wants to sell their spare welcome kit/bag?

2010-09-01T06:43:06Z

Been going to VMworld for years and I have a collection of laptop bags ... due to family health issues I did not get to go this year. Who has a full laptop bag kit they are willing to sell?? Must have all the contents intact and in new condition.

I'll PayPal $$$ for your time and cover shipping/insurance, PM me or leave your email address here and I will drop you a line. Anyone looking to make extra dough can probably pick up free bags at the end of the event. In years past they usually roll all the extra bags out into the open in the registration area for the scavengers to "clean up."
