I’m in a linky kind of mood tonight. Here are some articles I found interesting in the last week or so.
- vinf.net has a great set of articles here and here on how to run ESX 3.5 in the new Workstation 6.5 Beta. I can’t wait to get my hands on it and try it out!
- VM /ETC has a very good article on upgrading to ESX 3.5 and VC 2.5
- VMReference.com has updated their VMWare Reference Sheet. If you haven’t seen it, check it out.
- I use WinSCP a lot so I was happy to come across this tip over at RTFM on how to solve the filepart issues that started with ESX 3.5. Yes, this is old, I only now got around to actually doing something about it!
- Another RTFM Article with links to everything P2V. In this case I needed the XP SCSI drivers to create an XP VM. More on my adventures with VMWare VDM in a future article…

This one is more for my archive than anything else. We set up some Cisco 3020’s in an HP Blade System recently and after a few weeks at the customer site none of the switches were accessible over IP. The switch config didn’t change and everything was fine when the hardware was set up. The only thing out of the ordinary was the switch was given a hard coded IP address on fa0 as opposed to using EBIPA and providing a DHCP address.
Since the switch was in production we were wary to make any big changes. The fa0 port was listed as up/up and it shows the IP address. You could also ping the IP of the switch from the switch but you could not ping outside the switch. We had the same issue trying to connect from the OA into the switch. The simple fix was to shut/no shut the fa0 port on the switch. After this IP was reset and it was off and running!
Thanks to Kevin for this one!
