Things a VMware Consultant should not Tweet.

Posted on August 6, 2009 by Jon Owings

So I don’t have any real content today. So I will make up things you should not tweet from a customer site.

1. @duncanYB How do I add a host to vCenter again?

2. Just overwrote dudes LUNS, hope there wasn’t anything on them.

3. Licenses? Everyone can use my file.

4. Just P2V’d dudes server in the middle of the day. Hope no one noticed the reboot.

5. iSCSI, Service Console, VM Network, DMZ, VMotion. All on one NIC Sweet!
(don’t ruin the effect by commenting about 10GigE)

6. Exchange and SQL on SATA? No better use for a single 1 TB drive!

7. Just finished my first ESX install on a real server. Faster than it was in Workstation.

8. @Texiwill is there  a way to blank the root password for the Service Console?

9. Failover is for dummies that don’t do it right the first time.

10. Can’t wait to leave here so I can finish building my life size Yoda robot.

Add your suggestions in the comments or tweet them to me @2vcps

    Yes, it’s fine to change the Service Console IP on that host which is 1000 miles away

    You act like there’s something wrong with owning a Yoda robot. Prejudiced you are.

    “I managed to get a 30:1 consolidation ratio on this one ESX host” or “Why does the /var/core folder keep filling up with these random files?”

    Sure, you can reboot this ESX server.
    We have VMware HA!
