Man! Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, just like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pictures to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is helpful blog post. A outstanding read. Ill certainly be back.

Hi Forbes,

I tried sending you a message through your “About Me” page, but it rendered an error.

I work for EMC, follow your blog and tweets, and would like to invite you to a special webcast/Q&A. I couldn’t find your email, so I’ll leave you mine. I’d like to send you more information on this event. I hope to hear from you.

Yep, you’re right. I add them and it’ll be corrected in the next release (probably in about 4 weeks time).

Comment on Auto Deploy design concern by harold

I have been looking at he same issue recently. While the recent video VMware release addresses the issue, i think th following looks like a decent alternative.

Create 2 esxi host with local or BFS storage and build vm for vcenter, autodeploy, tftp, etc. Then create a cluster, join the 2 host to the cluster in vcenter and configure one of the host for the cluster and use this host for the host profile.
Configure auto deploy as necessary, then create a deploy rule to use the cluster and host profile mentioned above. Create host affinity rules to keep vcenter and any other critical vms to the 2 original host ( this is recommended in the auto deploy documentation)

Is there any thing i could be missing here from a high level perspective?

I noticed the same thing, when I wrote a VCP-510 exam summary document. There’s also no way in the GUI to configure an external DB2 database. it might be possible using some obscure actions, but if it’s officially supported it should be in the web management pages of the vCenter Server Appliance.
