One of the missing feature in the free version of ESXi 5 is the ability to move Virtual Machines between Datastores (Storage vMotion) and/or ESXi servers (vMotion). There is, however, a way to move a Virtual Machine from one hypervisor to another or to use another storage space ; at the cost of VM outage duration.
Here’s a brief review of what can be done and how regarding Virtual Machine instances and storage migration.Continue reading...
I used to run all of my services on the same OpenBSD server. Now that I switched to a virtualized environment, I’m on the way to dispatch the services on various virtual machines. As I have issues with the family’s iPhones and the SOGo 1.3.8.1 instance running on my OpenBSD gateway, I think it’s time to switch to an up-to-date version running elsewhere.

Parlez seulement après le Bip”, vous préférez accueillir vos interlocuteurs avec la voix de Jamel Debouzze, Astérix ou René la Taupe, alors ce billet (en anglais “post”) est pour vous.Continue reading...
Usually, when I want to connect to my LAN from the Wild Wild World, I use a VPN connexion. But there are times when it is not possible ; especially now that my work LAN has the same IP range as my home LAN… An alternate way to access my unpublished home services from outside is to use SSH tunnels.
What you need is an SSH server on the LAN that you want connect to. The SSH server has to be able to connect to the LAN server you aim to connect to. Then, all you have to do is a bit of “Port Forwarding”.Continue reading...
