I often get the question where I get my information from. Besides the wealth of information found on the PlanetV12n blogs and the VMware documentation there’s another great source: VMworld. Some go to VMworld just for “networking”, but besides expanding your network you can gather a lot of knowledge during your stay. Not only during your stay, because your vmworld.com account will also give you the possibility to download the presentations. These presentations contain, and especially the deep-dive sessions, in-depth information on the chosen subject.
Just to give you an idea, check this presentation that Rich shared via VM/ETC.com “VI3 TA19, Advanced Log Analysis“. There’s a great section on SCSI Error Strings which might just explain the vmkernel log messages you’ve been seeing(Storagemonitor). Anyway, VMworld Europe 2009, France – Cannes, Be there and Register now!
Jason Boche says
Will you be there? Did you find out yet?
Duncan says
I’m still not sure. But will talk to my manager about it to see what can be done. I would love to do some live blogging, but if that’s not possible I will sign up for a Lab.
Rob Mokkink says
I am going to VMworld. I realy like the labs.
Rich says
I wish I could come to France, but I’ll have to try to work it out for VMworld Europe 2010!
