http://serverfault.com – There has to be a way to do this that I'm missing. I'm trying to modify attributes on a whole bunch of VMs at the same time from the CLI: Look! 24 VMs: $ vmware-cmd --server 10.91.1.1 --username root --password vmware -h 10.91.1.3 -l /vmfs/volumes/volumes/V-RHEL-01/V-RHEL-01.vmx /vmfs/volumes/volumes/V-RHEL-02/V-RHEL-02.vmx /vmfs/volumes/volumes/V-RHEL-03/V-RHEL-03.vmx … /vmfs/volumes/volumes/V-RHEL-24/V-RHEL-24.vmx Let's try and modify them: $ for i in `seq -w 1 24`; do CFG="/vmfs/volumes/volumes/V-RHEL-$i/V-RHEL-$i.vmx" echo $CFG vmware-cmd --server 10.91.1.1 --username root --p (HowTos)

My Situation:

VMWare ESXi 5.0 SSH Access

One of my VMFS volumes is completely full.

VMFS is a clustered filesystem designed to store virtual machine disks for VMware ESX or ESXi Server hosts. In Ubuntu Linux, there is a command line tool vmfs-tools that allows to access VMFS filesystems from some other non ESX/ESXi host for e.g. maintenance tasks. For now, only read access is available, but write access is under works.

I'm having a small problem understanding Gluster Bricks and Nodes. In particular, on the 3.3.0 Administration Guide, eg, page 12 - 13, the discussion on "Striped Volumes" vs "Distributed Striped Volumes". See chapter 5, page 9, for the overview.

I'm looking to use it in a VMware ESXi 5.X environment for a HA NFS storage solution.

Let me start by saying I am somewhat of a Vmware novice, I know just enought to manage and create servers at a basic level from the vSphere client. I have a VMWare server, ESX 4.0 connected over iSCSI to a SAN. The SAN is being used as storage for both RDMs and VMFS volumes.

The SAN has died and I ordered a new one.

I am about to upgrade the RHEL version from RHEL 5.4 to RHEL 6.3 in a few hundreds of production servers.

The upgrade will be tested on a staging environment on virtual machines before production deployment.

Are there any backward-compatibility issues with RHEL upgrades?
