How to use Plugin Wizard with vSphere5
OK my vSphere Plugin Wizard (14248 downloads ) application does work with vSphere 5. To make it work follow my previous instructions but save the xml file on the vCenter in
c:\Program Data\Vmware\Vmware VirtualCenter\docRoot\yourplugin.xml
And in the “URL of plugin used for registration” use:
https://your-vCenter/yourplugin.xml
Click “Register Plugin” and job done.
Optimise VDI and maybe Win an Apple TV (VMUG)
On 17th of April I will be presenting at the Leeds VMUG. Session is about Optimise Virtual Desktops & ProfileUnity. Come see my presentation, bring a business card for a chance to win an Apple TV. My session is part community part vendor pitch. People are just starting to take VDI seriously now and if you want some ideas to get started come see my session. My topics will include:
- Where to start
- Building a base image
- Deployment using a broker
- Dynamically define a desktop
- Deliver Apps
Should be interesting….remember bring a business card for a chance to win an Apple TV.
BTW…the night before there is a vBeers sponsored by Whiptail.
Alternative whitepaper – backing up VMware View
I wrote a whitepaper for my wife’s venture describing an alternative way of backing up a VMware View environment. VMware already have a best practices paper but I felt it missed a few ideas. Like how to backup the images, which images to backup and how to protect the user-state with ProfileUnity from Liquidware Labs. Hey? Using a Profile Management solution as a backup tool…well read the paper and all will make sense.
