1. Excellent! Thanks for the heads up Si.

   Will get this setup in my homelab and test this evening.

   Sony.

   • couldn’t resist waiting and have set up vcma.

     works a treat from my blackberry and my iphone.

     set up a rule on my router to port forward to the vcma.

     externalip:80 -> vcmaip:80

     so i can access vcma via http://myip.dns/vim

     AWESOME!

   • Hi Sony,

     How’s the home lab going?

     Cheers,

     Si

     • Hi Si,

       To be honest it’s all in experimental stage at the moment ready for a refresh.

       vCPA and vCMA are really nice applicances.

       I’ve just taken delivery and my new CAT6 gear today 🙂 got patch panel and telephone host panel and cabling from cablemonkey.co.uk. Hope to plan and fit it all in around the house/loft over the weekend. Part of the reason is I also want to push HDMI to tvs round the house using HDMI-CAT baluns.

       My 2xML115 G5 + 2xiLo + 2x8GB RAM are still in there box from when they arrived from Servers Direct so still playing with my 2xML110 G4 for now.

       At the moment I’m looking at getting my APC UPS working with ESX for controlled shutdown of the guests and hosts during a power outage.

       Hmmmm maybe I shoul have filled out your “what’s your home setup” form post from a couple of weeks agao – sorry 😉

       In fact I might post up my visio diagram of the setup on the forum once I have it planned out.

       Cheers

       Sony.

2. You could do a post of how to install vCenter?

   Thanks.

   • Hi Maichkih,

     Thanks for the suggestion – I think that sounds like a good idea.

     Everyone: Would anyone else like to see a vCenter installation article? If so I’ll get one together.

     Cheers,

     Simon

3. Hello,

   If you are looking to manage your entire IT infrastructure, you can check out our product Mobile Admin. We have been around for two years now. With Mobile Admin you can administer your servers from a BlackBerry or Windows Mobile device, and a web interface. http://www.roveit.com/mobileadmin

4. Great app, but how the heck do you turn off the pop up message once you have used it? There is no off or disable button, it won’t let you clear the message and save in the Tools/Send Message area. This is very frustrating, so that every time vsphere is opened up, the dang message pops up every time. I’ve even tried turning off the appliance and it still won’t go away.

   If anyone knows how to get rid of it, I would be forever greatly appreciative.

   Thank you!
