Free RTFM Guide: “What’s New & Different in Vi3.5″
Well, I’ve done it again. I’ve been on the Vi3.5 Beta Programme for sometime. I’ve written two guides – one of which is available today – on ESX3i and Vi-3.5. It’s the Vi-3.5 Guide that I am releasing today. It covers all the new features in this release, and also runs through lots of the minor enhancement that collectively amount to a major improvement from the initial Vi3.0.0 release
You can download the guide from this location on RTFM.
You can also download the guide from the vi3book.com. Right now, Scott is doing some updates to vi3book.com. So for the moment you can also get the guide from vmguru.com

[...] Mike Laverick has created a new RTFM Guide. His latest edition covers all of the new features and enchantments we can find in the ESX 3.5 release. His Guide concludes with : As you can see VMware have once again added new functionality to both ESX and VirtualCenter at no additional “upgrade†cost. Additionally, there has been some significant finessing of existing features which make the administration of VI-3.5 easier. The core product remains the same despite the introduction of DPM, VUM and Guided Consolidation. So anyone reading the VI-3book will still find lots of useful and relevant material between its covers. The authors of the VI-3book will continue to maintain and updates its content as the VMware Infrastructure 3 evolves. These updates will supplied as free PDF files which can be downloaded from VI-3book.com. However, it seems like the next big release for VMware will be VMware Infrastructure 4.

[...] VMware Infrastructure 3.5 (VI3.5) saw major updates last fall with the release of ESX 3.5, VirtualCenter 2.5, and ESX 3i. Just what do these new products mean for IT administrators? What functionality have these three SKUs added to the VI3 bundle? Mike Laverick from RTFM-Education fame produced a great 88 page PDF that details the updated features at on his blog. Eighty-eight pages is a long read, so I decided to collapse the material into the most important points that readers need to take from Mike’s awesome document. So here they are, the 18 changes you need to know about: [...]

[...] I used Mike Lavericks Free RTFM Guide: “What’s New & Different in Vi3.5″ to look at Storage VMotion and moved a few VMs from local storage to the NFS datastore. Then I tried to move my SBS server, this started but never finished. Rather worryingly it left me with all sorts of odd VM’s in VC. After spending a while untangling the vmdk and vmx files that were created in the process I got my SBS server back in operation and on the original storage. [...]
