After finishing up a busy end of 2009, it’s time to catch up on some over due blog posts.
Recently, one of my clients discovered that SRM 4.0 has an issue editing the /etc/hosts file during DR failover of Linux VMs. The result of the issue was the /etc/host file not being edited with the updated localhost entry as part of the failover process.
Good news is that the issue has been correct and should be rolled into the next point release of SRM. If you are using SRM for Linux VM DR, keep watch for this update.


Today’s the last day before a week long vacation over Thanksgiving and it’s been a continual mad dash for the finish line. The rain is falling, the wind is howling, and I’m not looking forward to a vacation painting project…what better time than to catch up on a few key virtualization links that I have built up over the past…month! Wow, guess I’ve been busier than I remember. 😉 Some of these might be a bit old news (unless you have been living under a virtual rock lately…like me), but still valuable to raise to your awareness.
