      Disclaimer

      Unfortunately in this world of lawsuits, I want to make the following disclaimer. Everything that I have written about here is about my own experiences or as a result of research that I did.  Your results may vary from mine. What you will read about here is what I using on one or more of VMware server.  If I haven’t ordered something but found that it was something that I would be looking at in the future, I will indicate that.

      This eBook is written from a point of view of someone who is new to VMware or has just been put into the role of being an Admin for one or more VMware hosts. As with anything VMware, there is usually more than one way to do anything that I will talk about here. Depending on of how your job is focused, you may do things a little differently.

      Introduction

      Welcome to VMware for New Admins - Volume 2.  This is the 2nd book in my VMware series.  One of the things that started me looking at writing this eBook was the power I saw in vCLI and vMA but no explanation on how new Admins could leverage the power without getting overwhelmed by even more documentation.  What I write about here barely scratches the surface on what vCLI or vMA can do for you.

      My background is started with using command line on the various network devices I have worked on.  Gradually all network devices are migrating to having GUI access but there are still times that the GUI either isn’t responding or won’t let you perform the task that is needed.
