Reading Time: < 1 minuteKindle Fire is a tablet from Amazon, based on Android, that may become a competitor of the Apple iPad (considering also the interesting price). Although this tablet use Android, the recent new View Client for Android wasn’t included in the Amazon Android App Store. This lack as been correct in the last days, and now the new release 1.3 of the View Client, with PCoIP support, is available also for Kindle Fire. An alternative client (not strictly limited to VMware View solution) could also be the new release of Wyse PocketCloud (but actually still lack […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteAs written some days ago, VMware announced the new version of the Linux View Client with PCoIP support. Now the binaries are available for the download, actually only for the Ubuntu distribution: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/vmware-view-client There is also an interesting guide on how build a full client based on a live disto: Building an Ubuntu Live CD for VMware View Note that previously there wasn’t a public (and free) version of the Linux View Client with the PCoIP: the OpenSource vmware-view-open-client project still lack of this function (and also other functions, like USB redirection). But this does […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesMicrosoft Windows Dynamic Disks (or Dynamic Volumes) are an abstraction layer (introduced in Windows 2000) over the partitions (similar to the LVM layer on Linux environment) to decoupled the volumes (with their NTFS data) from the disk partitions and have a greater flexibility, like hot-extend a volume by simple add new partitions (but also several other advantages). But in a virtual environment there are other way to handle disk flexibility, like hot-extend a virtual disk at hypervisor level (for VMware this feature was introduced in VI 3.5U2)… so there is no need to use dynamic […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesIn ESXi the partitions schema is automatically defined by the installation process and there is no way to modify it (you can only choose where install the hypervisor). There is a great post from Rickard Nobel (ESXi 5 partitions) that explain the structure of the partitions, their size and their purpose. But it does not explain how to get this information. To see the partition layout in ESXi 5, the fdisk command will not work on new GTP disk (this type is used for all new disks and for disks that are extended to more […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAs you know, several commands from local CLI (via the ESXi shell or TSM technical support mode) are changed in latest version of ESXi (in the new ESXi 5 most are replaced by the new esxcli command). One command that was alredy replaced in ESXi 4.1 was the vmware-cmd command. A new vim-cmd must be used instead (as as described by William Lam in VMware vimsh and vim-cmd). The typical use of vmware-cmd command was get/change the state of a VM and register a VM. About the state of a VM, the VMware KB1014165 (Powering off […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteA best practice is a method or technique that has consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other means, and that is used as a benchmark. In addition, a “best” practice can evolve to become better as improvements are discovered. But, as well described by Frank Denneman in his post, best practices are never absolute, they depends on your specific case.
