Summary: We had a decent, if quick show last night, during with we covered VMRun/VIX, PowerCLI, and a few other things. Here are the show notes: Objectives: Objective 8.1 PowerCLI Notes: Getting started with PowerShell - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee221100.aspx PowerCLI - http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/vsphere/automationtools/powercli Update Manager cmd-lets - http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/ps-libs/vumps/ Hal’s book - http://amzn.to/g0WmPc Sean’s PowerCLI Section - http://www.vfail.net/other-pages/powercli/ Getting Started with PowerCLI - http://www.virtu-al.net/2009/11/10/powercli-where-do-i-start/ My VIX section - http://professionalvmware.com/?s=vix Sean’s 8.1 page: http://www.vfail.net/2010/09/07/vcap-dca-objective-8-1-execute-vmware-cmdlets-and-customize-scripts-using-powercli/ Objective 8.2 Orchestrator Notes: N/A - We didn’t touch on Orchestrator this go around.s Objective 8.3 vMA Notes: There are any number of great resources here. Instead of covering this directly in the BrownBag, I decided to self reference a BrownBag we did in the past with Sean Crookston of vFail.net here. Other Resources: Saffa Geek’s VCAP Prep page has been updated - http://thesaffageek.wordpress.com/vcap-dca-dcd/ Sean Crookston’s VCAP-DCA page - http://www.vfail.net/vcap-dca/ Sean’s result - http://www.vfail.net/2011/01/04/and-the-vcap-dca-results-are-in/ Summary As this particular BrownBag was short, and we didn’t cover Orchestrator as well as we should have, so we’ll be doing the next BrownBag specifically on Orchestrator.
