Good News and Bad!
by Ryan on Jan.06, 2012, under General
Bad news is that as of the 2011-12-31 I finished working for my Employer in order to move back to my home country, so I no longer have direct access to (and responsibility for) VMWare (and all the other really cool stuff we had, infini-band, HPC etc.) To top it off I was told before I left they intended to implement vblock (I suspect they just wanted to make me jealous ;) )
Good news is that from the 2012-01-09 I am starting my new job which will be mainly SCCM to start but moving into Citrix as well. So you will likely see no more VMWare posts, however I intend to make it up to you all by posting lots more

Deprecated - VMWare have release an official checker and there is a better script at http://virtu-al.net
This is a script I wrote to check vSphere 5 vRAM compliance.
Update Custom Attributes for VMhosts in vCenter
by Ryan on Jun.23, 2011, under Coding/Scripting, powercli, powershell, Servers, Sys Admin, Virtualization
Yet another role added to my Job description, Now I am managing our Virtual Servers. So true to form I’ve dived headfirst into powershell / powercli to see what I can do. Some of the posts coming up on this will likely be similar to others around the web as I reinvent the wheel while I learn. But you never know one of you might find me 1st or I might do it in a way that suits you better.
First up is a simple script to read data from an xml file and then update custom attributes on the vmhosts.
