VMTN: Ultimate Virtualization Resource Center




This recently polished VMTN section has several great resources. Look at it. It is complete with:
  • Discussion Forums: I drop by once in a while to see and sometimes am pulled by the alerts that I allow to send me an email , should there be something going on like a new post or direct response to my post.
  • Documentation*: I cannot stress enough. I read them from time to time. Check out all the update documents there. I will be preparing a course material for VMware Server for my international project and thus will be reading that manual really thorougly! But if you are preparing for a VCP exam then you will be spending a lot of time here and carrying the printed docs under your arms. Like I said, to know your stuff real good , this is a great starting point.
  • KB (Knowledge Base): Things and all other issues like time synchronisation on Linux Server (SMP VMs), disappearing vNICs on Windows hosts, etc c an all be found here. Very rich and helpful resource.
  • Discussion Forums: A very cool place to hang out. All the customers hang out here. I won't be surprised if this component is just added into the client-site's corporate site as a portlet. Very important to get your questions answered here and also help others pick up the strings and get going. Registration is free!
  • Technical Resources: A good place to get white Papers etc
  • Security Alerts: Equally important. Cannot stress enough.
  • Compatibility Guides: Very crucial to read before deploying VMware Solutions. Also crosscheck with your harfware vendor.
* Although Documentation Section is easy to reach but it would make some sense to have revised docs on that panel. They are there on the top left anyways.

So if you really want to test the products or know more about the VMTN , you ought to visit this page at least once a day.

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Our frozen chi's and the Workfloor

I left home when I was 20. I had studied Physics(Major) and had no idea what to do next. I took to the seas, I think looking back it was more like a refuge, an asylum. Seeking to get away from all that peer pressure, myself and what not. 1991 June 7, around midnight I arrive in Lagos, Nigeria. Company agent ships me to the nearby hotel to wait for my first “boat”. That's the first time in my life I saw a lot of people , a race totally different from ours. I was warned to be careful, protect my wallet, but they came across as just about any other regular folk. That was my “first encounter”. Funny, since then I have worked with all kinds of nationalities (Japanese, Chinese, Malaysians, Indonesians, Dutch, Scandinavians, Thai, Americans, Spanish, Argentinians,..I can go on and on). What I have learned in all that is that we are all so much alike. But on board a ship it is “ really ” different. Your job is crucial and you must work together. That makes you accept each other realistica...

A Collection of Threnodies : Part 1

Whale Fall ----------------- Dress me up in my new threads clasp my greasy palms grease my hair I'm ready for the fall Watch at all the decadence watching the avalanche I'm slipping down losing my buoyancy What's become of us where have we come this far, this close close to the doors I hear them, sublimal chants I'm on the run I race through the human sea I am the king! I'm the slave to my own undoings I'm the jester in my courtyard We jest as we run We're strolling on that thin rope we grope as we rope we're true heros we're the survivors we're the scavengers we're the friends we're the lovers we're the unbred Soon awaiting the fall we're lurking on us we're osedaxing us we're soon going to be done we'll soon be arrested *osedax(bone devourer, newly discovered marine genus) feeds on a fallen(sunken) whale carcass(which is also called a whale fall).
