John Troyer says: think you are a vExpert? nominate yourself !

vExpert is the buzz word in the blogging-scene at the moment. Everybody is (quietly/modestly) hyping themselves to get nominated as possible VMware vExpert. But I was following John Troyer on Twitter and while talking to Sven he said :

“vExpert nomination is also application form. Don’t make others do the work for you, lazy bum! Nominate yourself. You know better than others what you’ve been up to.”

So everybody who think he’s been active enough in the VMware community by helping customers implement VMware, spread the word about VMware, helped users in the VMware communities with their problems: sign yourself up!

Check out more info about the vExpert nominations (including application form) here:

“icloud consist of a desktop with applications and files that you run through your web browser.
Because it’s running in the cloud (the internet) it can offer you impressive features such as easy sharing, rich collaboration, built-in marketplace with free applications, seamless integration with your mobile device, and innovative drag-and-drop blog publishing.”

When it comes to troubleshooting on VMware ESX, esxtop is a tool that always comes in handy. CPU, memory, network and disk-related problems can be pinpointed with esxtop. Unfortunately, esxtop must be executed from the service console and my ESXi server doesn’t have that. I was looking for a way to use esxtop with ESXi and I found out that you can use resxtop. resxtop is the Remote CLI version of esxtop.
