Veeam releases Reporter 2.0 tool for VI3!



Our friends @Veeam are going strong!

Veeam™ Software, a new provider of best-of-breed systems management solutions for virtual machines (VMs), today announced the release of a new major version of Veeam Reporter 2.0 for VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3)

Veeam Reporter 2.0 collects information about VI3 environment, its components and configuration settings, and provides comprehensive reports for analysis and documentation. Designed for professional use by ESX administrators, system integrators and datacenter managers, the tool is fully integrated with VMware VirtualCenter and ESX Server.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Discovering in Minutes

A manual process of collecting information about VI3 environment can take hours and is prone to human errors. With Veeam Reporter the discovery of entire infrastructure usually takes from one to five minutes. Tremendous time saving allows IT administrators and datacenter managers to be more productive.

Analyzing in Visio

Veeam Reporter 2.0 offers users the bird's eye view of the entire VMware Infrastructure from Networking, Storage, Vmotion (NEW) and Configuration (IMPROVED) points of view. Professional Visio reports are essential for ESX administrators and datacenter managers in understanding of the current environment as well as planning for the future

Documenting in Excel, Word and PDF (NEW)

Veeam Reporter 2.0 collects every detail of ESX or VirtualCenter configuration and saves the information in different file formats. Visio is a great tool for visualizing and analyzing the virtual infrastructure. Excel spreadsheets are good for building an inventory and allow for quick searching of a particular detail, for example finding an IP address for a VM. The Word's ability to compare documents is great for tracking changes. PDF is a portable format that can be distributed and used in heterogeneous environments as well as use for information archival purposes.

In addition, Veeam Software announces today the new Veeam Consultant License Program which is designed for Veeam channel and consulting partners. The Consultant License is a low cost, time limited license restricted to a single customer engagement. Veeam partners can take advantage of Veeam products at greatly reduced prices.

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.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op
