    Dev 4 the Ops Team Preview

    In one month from now I’ll be speaking at VMworld in Barcelona with a concise session on coding skills for the IT operations team. To quote the abstract for the session:

    I believe every IT Ops person, SysAdmin, and vSphere administrator should do some coding

    Find VMs being replicated to a datastore with Get-VmdkFolders

    I’m using vSphere Replication to replicate a number of VMs to a datastore which is being decommissioned. I can’t reconfigure replication by code (I’ve mentioned that there’s no public API or PowerCLI around the vSphere Replication functionality in vSphere 6.5 before- most recently on Twitter) …

    vSphere Encryption- Knowing your limits

    I’ve been running a Proof of Concept system for vSphere Encryption using vSphere 6.5u1 and a HyTrust KeyControl 4.0 KMS cluster.

    Exploring Tags and PowerCLI

    Tags were added to vSphere back in version 5.1 so they’re not a new feature but are still often overlooked. One or more tags can be applied to items (entities) in the inventory and then used as a search term or metadata not only in the GUI but also through tools such as PowerCLI. This post covers a few useful cmdlets …

    I was lucky enough to take delivery of some new ESXi hosts recently. After installing them in the datacentre, I wanted to test that the network had been patched correctly. This environment is going to have Distributed vSwitches configured, but I wanted to test the physical connectivity before joining them to vCenter- …
