  • End of the Lab

    Sep 22, 2023

    Hi readers, Today marks the end of an experience for me. Sadly, I’ve decided to cancel the rack I was renting in the datacenter. This means my lab will be no more. I will not be renewing for the VMware vExpert program. The lab is getting too costly and with lack of job security at the end of the year, I cannot afford …

  • Life update 25/07/2023

    Jul 25, 2023

    Hi readers, Some of you have been messaging me where I have been. Well, life’s been an adventure. The next post will be a technical one, however this post will be limited to real life shenanigans. Back in April while I was on a trip to Berlin, I had a good friend reach out to me and asked if I wanted to come over. Now …

  • Cost savings in the Lab

    Apr 15, 2023

    With power pricing getting severely out of hand (well, it has been for months now), I figured I should do my part. Currently, my lab consists of four ESXi servers, two storage servers, one backup server and one personal tinkering server. My ESXi cluster has always ran on about 1.5 hosts worth of redundancy. In order to …

  • Turning 21, life & lab updates

    Apr 15, 2023

    On March 29th I turned 21 years old.. It seems like that lots of things have changed, but not the things I was hoping for.

  • [Quick script] – Automatically scan for unmounted VMFS datastores and mount them

    Dec 24, 2022

    Today while I installed two new servers in the rack, I had to mount some iSCSI datastores to these servers as I also have them mounted on other servers. I wrote a quick script to do this because I am lazy, and decided to share it here in case it may be useful: 1#!/bin/bash 2 3esxcfg-volume -l > /tmp/dump.log 4cat …

  • vExpert Program – What is it and what has it done for me?

    Dec 23, 2022

    What is the vExpert program and most importantly, what has it done for me? That’s what this blog post is about. The video can be found here. Here is the explanation of the vExpert program carefully quoted from their site: “The VMware vExpert program is VMware’s global evangelism and advocacy program. The program is …

  • Thoughts on the new VCP-VMC 2022 exam (and I passed!)

    Dec 20, 2022

    VMware has launched a new certification. The VMware Cloud Professional – VMware Cloud 2022 certification (yes, that is a mouthful to say over Zoom). In short, let’s call it VCP-VMC 2022 for now. It was first introduced in this post from VMware. This certificate aims to prove that the holder has sufficient knowledge of …
