Erik,
Excellent blog, been on it for just over as year 🙂
I have a recommendation for some information that would be advantageous for most beginners, which is designing IP schemes/layout for vSphere networks.
Let me elaborate on this, it’s rather hard to find what the best practice is for designing what IP scheme a virtualised environment should ideally use, specially when moving from physical to virtual. This would really fit with the rest of your work. A lot of documentation talks about separate aspects such as the management/vMotion/FT/IP storage but then it doesn’t talk about how to integrate that with your existing production environment. Additionally, if businesses are using a flat network and are looking to virtualise, would the desktops be moved to a different IP range and so on 🙂
For a lot of us, we already have a lot of information regarding NIC design configurations, we just need the bigger picture to get it working.
Look forward to hearing from you if possible,
Thanks very much,
G.
Thank you for the comment.
I will work on a post relating to what you’re talking about in the coming weeks.
Thanks for the feedback. It’s always welcomed.
