As you can see from the photo, I just received my copy of Eric Siebert’s new book – VMware VI3 Implementation and Administration. I got an early chance to read part of this book and offer a quote for the praise page. Here’s what I had to say about it:
“I have read hundreds of articles by Eric Siebert and always wished that I could have it in a single book. That wish has finally come true. In Eric’s VMware VI Implementation and Administration book, he covers VI up and down, inside and out, like only Eric can. It’s the ultimate VMware VI manual.”
I was impressed with what I saw then but am even more impressed now that I have the real book, in its entirety, in my hands.
In case you haven’t heard of Eric before, he is a vExpert and real VMware guru who covers VMware VI3 from a very real-world perspective in the book.
You can read more about his book at Eric’s website, VMware-Land.com .

My latest article covers the the free vWire OpsCheck tool. With this tool, you can verify that your VMotion configuration is correct. Without that verification, you could attempt a VMotion and it could fail. Read the full article and learn where to download it at:

Hyper9 wants to keep the number of beta participants small so they have given me just 15 invitations to the beta.

Automatic entry into Win a Mobile Device contest, beginning in June
In exchange for a little feedback – a limited edition Hyper9 T-shirt
