30. Performance Statistics Create performance query specification based on the performance counters and metrics information already obtained. Reuse the performance query specification, if the performance statistics are being queried repeatedly for a managed entity. Use multiple query specifications instead of one query specification for every queryPerf API invocation. Use CSV format for stats query output, especially if your query retrieves more data. Caveats: Make sure the VC server stats level is set to the appropriate value for the counter in question.

36. Every hardware device (NIC, disk, or any peripheral device) requires a unique key to distinguish itself from the other devices in the virtual machine. This is a positive number assigned by vSphere after the device is successfully added to the virtual machine.
37. While adding a device you have to use a number that has not been used by the existing device. You can use a negative number like “-100”.
43. The key string for option name has to match with the name of that option in the vCenter server.

45. Change the log level to ‘trivia’, and examine the log files.
46. Host agent (hostd) on the ESX host carries the operations invoked via the vCenter Server using the SDK.
47. The log files are rotated for vCenter server, and hostd.
48. For vCenter server logs, vpxd-index file (C:ocuments and Settingsll Userspplication DataMwareMware VirtualCenterogs) contains the number indicating the current log file.
VMware recognizes the critical role our partners play in analyzing, recommending and delivering customer solutions.Last year, based on feedback we received from customers, partners and our own sales teams, we re-structured our overall partner program, now called VMware Partner Network. We did this to ensure we not only provided customers with world-class solutions, but that we provided partners with one of the best partner programs in the industry. We believe the tools, education and incentives available to you will help you increase your profitability as you solve your customers’ business challenges through VMware virtualization solutions.The VMware Partner Network provides programs to support many different partner business models. This presentation will be focused on Solution Providers. If you’re interested in learning more about the other partner types, please go to vmware.com/partners for more information.
