Vmware ESX training

For the next 3 day’s I’m giving a Vmware ESX training for the bank of the Netherlands.

They have a really nice ESX farm. To bad, I cannot give you any detail. I was here two years ago for the first club so I guess I dit well…?

I will let you know how it went in a couple of day’s

Update 16-1-2009: The training was good! The students were surprised what you can do with Vmware ESX.

The nice part of all was that one of the students was the Floor manager of the MER! And he invited me to have a look around in the MER. This was a offer I could not refuse! So he gave me a tour for a hour. As you can imaging I cannot give you an details, but it was quit impressive!

The -P options means that you will be prompted for a password.

How to check for SLP DA on a OES

On Netware we had the command DISPLAY SLPDA to see witch DA where active. This command is not availiable on OES/SLES10 with OpenSLP.

If you want to see the active DA’s, issue the following command as root

slptool findsrvs service:service-agent

You will get a output something like this:

service:directory-agent://10.16.8.10,65535

service:directory-agent://10.16.8.11,65535

service:directory-agent://10.16.8.12,65535

service:directory-agent://10.16.8.13,65535

In this example we have 4 active DA’s
