VM /ETC

Posts Tagged ‘vmm’

Anyone who’s been to a 4 day technical conference knows there will most likely be at least one support call that forces you to remotely manage servers from the event. Even though admins bring wireless notebooks, everyone also knows that wifi access can be sketchy at best at conferences as large as VMworld. As a virtual machine remote administration alternative, Hyper9 VMM lets you manage your VMs from your mobile phone and therefore use your phone provider’s network. The good news is Hyper9 just announced a special deal for those going to San Francisco.

The deal is so good that some VI admins that have been unfortunate so far getting approval to attend VMworld might be able to justify the benefits of a free VMM license as a second try argument. Be creative. Who knows?  If you are still unsuccessful be sure to read the last paragraph of the offer below, but keep that as your “ace in the hole”. I am trying to get you there!

This post is a mix of the official Virtualization Mobile Manager (VMM )instructions found at Hyper9.com and my notes and screen shots of the configurations necessary to get the Tomcat application configured on Windows 2003 Standard with SP2. I’ve seen a few emails and comments from others who have found the VMM configuration process challenging, so I kept track of my install for future reference and hopefully to serve as some assistance to others.

Monitor and Manage VMs on the Go with Virtualization Mobile Manager (VMM) now available in beta from Hyper9. VMM Sound familiar? That’s because Andrew Kutz previously released VMM on his lostcreations.com web site before he joined the Hyper9 team and became responsible for H9Labs. However, this latest version has broadened it’s support to include not only VMware ESX and ESXi, but also VMware Server, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer 5. If I am not mistaken, that makes VMM the first multi vendor virtualization management tool in existence (mobile phone or otherwise) that can administer and monitor guests on all the major platforms.

The VMM beta is now available to the entire virtualization universe at the link above, but Hyper9 has a special offer for VM /ETC readers that comes with some exclusive perks:

• automatic entry to win a mobile device in a contest starting in June
• a limited edition Hyper9 t-shirt (in exchange for some VMM feedback)
• 50% discount should you choose to purchase

Be one of the first 15 readers to comment on this post to take advantage of this invitation. Be sure to use a valid email address so that Hyper9 can contact you about the beta download, your shirt, and more.
