Quest's Foglight can monitor and manage VMware as well!


Well the most intelligent and intuitive of the management tools is bound to win evntually. And trust me there are enough folks who have been making a living out of it for quite sometime now. Quest happens to be one of them.

Along with providing customers increased insight into virtual infrastructures, Foglight delivers a set of capabilities that enable organizations to:

· Contain alarm storms created by the virtual machines and physical servers

· Track virtual machines from one physical server to another

· Show the impact that multiple virtual machines, which share physical resources, have on one another as virtualization policies change

· Receive root-cause diagnostics and expert advice

· Monitor VMotion events that dynamically move virtual machines

· Customize views for IT operations, the data center team and management

Ongoing demonstrations of Foglight will take place at the Quest booth, #201, at Gartner Symposium/ITxpo®, April 6 –10. Additionally, virtualization industry expert Scott Herold will present the challenges of monitoring a virtual environment and how Foglight helps address these challenges as part of Quest’s 45-minute virtualization session on April 8.

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!
