About 3 weeks back now we had David Davis on the BrownBags, and while the Video has been up on Vimeo I’ve been lax in getting it posted. One of those things that if I don’t take care of it right away I seem to forget. Not that David is forgettable… far from it.

| 51 | VideoBrownBag - VDI & Storage Impacts | IOPS? No, it’s not where you go to get pancakes.

| 54 | VideoBrownBag - vSphere Security with Ed Haletky | The Links: Ed’s Site - http://www.virtualizationpractice.com/ Ed’s vSphere Security Book Ed on Twitter Summary: First, I seem to have misplaced the chat logs. There were a few good links shared. If y’all still have them handy, please drop them in the comments. As you watch the video you’ll notice how quickly we roll from minute 1 to over time. Virtualization security is a pretty broad topic, one that we could easily waste days on. However, with this BrownBag, Ed’s book and some of the other resources mentioned during the video, you’ll have a good start. As always, drop a line in the comments if you have questions, concerns, or would like to see something specific in a future BrownBag. | 4/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

This device will be used to run several production virtual machines in your environment, which consists of a single cluster of 3 hosts with HA and DRS enabled. Setup your environment to support the use of this device. Ensure redundant paths for the storage are configured to minimize single points of failure.

| 68 | VideoBrownBag - #10 - Security | Thanks again to Ed Haletky (@Texiwill) for coming along and presenting this week. | 6/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 69 | VideoBrownbag - #9 - VCP Fragmented Bendy Busses (Storage) | Tuesdays Brownbag had a good turn out and also featured the excellent debut of our newest co-host: Guillermo Rodriguez. Guillermo (Gee yair mo) like many of the folks on the call is a budding VCP, having taken his class, studying for his exam and interested in helping others reach the same goal. | 6/8/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 70 | VideoBrownBag - #8 - VCP | As discussed during the show, this is the follow-up post for our conversation with Jon Hall about the new VCAP Certifications. There were not as many this time as is usual, however there have been more than plenty of follow-up and VCAP posts out in the community. I’ve tried to link in most of those as well: New VMware Certification Portal VMware VCAP portal VCAP DCA VCAP DCD VCDX4 (Changes) Scott Vessey’s Follow-up Eric Sloof’s Follow-up Duncan Epping’s VCDX 4 Post Maish Saidel-Keesing Follow-Up VCDX4 Upgrade Path If you’ve posted a follow-up and I’ve left you out, let me know in the comments and I’ll get the post updated. Thanks again for joining the call, and thanks to TrainSignal for making this possible. | 5/25/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 71 | VideoBrownBag - #6 - VCDX | We had a good time this call. You’ll be able to tell from the recording though that we are still very much armatures playing in this space. Outside a minor emergency and Tom having some audio difficulty, we had a great discussion around rapid provisioning ESX servers. | 5/12/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 72 | VideoBrownBag - #7 - VCP | The show notes for this are more or less lost at this point. Whoops. That said, the video is online. This one felt more like teaching a class than a discussion around certification, but as awkward as that was for us to handle, I think we did “ok”. You tell me. | 5/11/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 73 | VideoBrownBag - #5 - VCDX | The show notes links, blatantly copied from Tom Howarth’s Site: Here are a couple of links relating to the show http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_fuser.htm http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_last.htm http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_w.htm http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_who.htm http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_dd.htm One thing to note is that even the so called experts can and do get it wrong we all agreed the w is an alias of who but as the above link shows that is not the case LOL As always, thanks to Trainsignal for making this happen. | 5/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 74 | VideoBrownBag - #4 - VCDX Performance | Well, this took quite a bit of time to get posted. I blame solar flares! I also blame the solar flares for the missing show-notes this week. Whoops! Hope you enjoy the video, and as always, thanks to TrainSignal for making this possible. | 4/18/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 75 | VideoBrownBag - #5 - VCP Open Topic | We had an excellent turn out this time, and hope to see some more folk continue to join us. In addition to the illustrious Tom Howarth of PlanetVM.net, we also had Jason Boche of Boche.net, who has become a regular at these. A great thanks goes out to both of these folks, as well as everyone else who joined the call. | 4/6/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 76 | VideoBrownBag - #2 - VCDX | Hot on the heels of yesterday’s call, and subsequent "lab fail” we’ve got today’s follow-up post. The topic we covered was storage, however that didn’t stop us from rambling into other areas. First, the links: Virtualization Team Study Guide iSCSI Management from the CLI (JFVI) VMware Communities Study Guide Software iSCSI (that isn’t Openfiler) VMware DSA Course VMware Tips - Enterprise Admin Exam | 3/16/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
