Tek-Tools releases Virtualization module



Early release customers gain efficiencies
Early-release customers have been using the new module in production environments,
reclaiming terabytes of over-allocated virtual storage, eliminating unused storage hardware,
capturing ESX server performance data, avoiding hundreds of thousands of dollars of
unnecessary IT purchases and deferring maintenance expense.
“Profiler for VMware showed us that we could take many of our physical hosts and convert them
to Virtual Machines, saving us space and cost in our datacenters and helping us centralize over
eight terabytes of storage,” said Ed Delgado, Storage Administrator, Risk Metrics. “It is a
welcome addition to the Profiler Suite. Now I can look across the entire IT infrastructure –
physical and virtual -- from a single console. At a glance from the Profiler console I can see
how servers are performing, how much storage is available, the status of backup operations and
application availability. Plus, I can drill down in any area for more in-depth reporting, the growth
rate of allocated storage or historical performance of ESX servers, for example.”

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

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
