One thing I'm currently working on is a 2 node CentOS cluster using GFS as the shared file system, with the storage on a fibre attached HP MSA SAN. This is a proof of concept before investing in RHEL AS licences (which will be the better part of £2000). CentOS is free and is intended to clone RHEL as closly [...]

Red Hat Summit 2008 – closing post
In short - it's been good, a valuable use of my time. The presentation throughout the summit was of a very high standard, and this included the catering too. If I had to summarise the summit I would do so using the following 5 buzzwords: 1. Virtualisation. Guess what ...? Red Hat has their own [...]

He also described the [...]

Vista: Run a script at shutdown
I wanted to configure my Vista Home Premium machine to run a script at shutdown, to synchronise "My Documents" to my file server. On my old XP workstation this was done by editing the local group policy and specifying a shutdown script, and then configuring PathSync (a nice free app) to sync the files to [...]

Cheating with ESX Server Starter Edition
ESX Starter Edition is a standalone ESX server (i.e. no Virtual Centre), available at a lower cost than the ESX Infrastructure editions but missing some useful functions. Some of those functions are the ability to convert virtual machines to templates simply by right-clicking on them, and deploying VM templates with a single mouse click. With [...]
