VI3 card Archive

I’ve uploaded 0.8 to the usual place , with the storage section done. I’ve included some storage CLI stuff, but I might rip this back out if I am running low on space. Normally I wouldn’t use these as the VIC is the best tool for this. The only time I can see the commands being used is for scripting or kickstart options. Let me know if you think they should stay. I’d be interested if people use them.

Also, as I mentioned on the VMware forum post , I’ve removed the Management Agent section (for space reasons again), and included links in the install section.

Please let me know if you know of a link to a good HP Insight Manger guide. Or better links than the other ones I have.

Version 0.7 is done.

I’ve been fiddling with the networking section to get it as good as I can. This is the one section where I do need to use a few COS commands, as sometimes its the only way. I’m pretty happy with its "facts to size" ratio.

Unfortunately, I think the planned section for the common hardware management agents (IBM Director, Dell OpenManage & HP InsightManager) is going to have to be dropped. I just don’t think I’m going to have space. I think I could do IBM director in 4 lines, but I’m not so familiar with the other two (anyone got any links to Dell’s and HP’s setups?) I’ll just need to wait and see. I’ve still got Storage (FC, iSCSI & NFS), Resources (DRS, Resource Pools, Clusters & HA) and VCB, all to squeeze into one column. Eek.

As usual, let me know if you have any comments.

Version 0.6 of the ESX3 vreference card is out! Grab it here .

The big addition is the ESX host section. However, I have also added in some folding guides and increased the size of the text boxes so I can squeeze even more ESX goodness in. It works OK with the two printers I have access to, but if it causes an issue for lots of people I’ll revisit this.

Once I have got this card to 1.0 and things have settled down, I plan to release a "letter" sized version.
