Rove has provided me with a demo of their Mobile Admin management tool, unfortunately I have been unable to install and use it due to my busy schedule lately.  I did want to provide you with their press release though, and also a couple links to a Webinar explaining the product and a link to download the trial.

Their product does look very promising, the concept is simple, you place their software on an Internet Accessible server, it interacts with the back-end application you wish to manage (vCenter, SCOM, etc.). You then use your Windows Mobile or Blackberry device to connect to this management server to perform basic tasks.

Rich over at VM /ETC did a very nice write up, including some screen-shots of what the VI interface looks like on a Windows Mobile Device.

Like two little kids, Rich Brambley from VM /ETC and Jason Boche from boche.net couldn’t resist.  They opened their presents a little early.  It sounds like for those of you that sign-up for it, you will get a very nice (and FREE) Virtual Infrastructure management tool. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me!  Be sure to sign up and you’ll receive the download link on Dec 22nd.

Well a few days back there were a lot of posts in regards to the Free Edition of ESXi and how in U3 the RCLI is now writable.  This unfortunately was a bug, per Duncan over at Yellow-Bricks this was done unintentionally by the ESXi programmers attempting to resolve an API-related bug.   So, enjoy the writable RCLI while it last Free ESXi users, your next update will most likely remove the feature.

This only applies to customers who downloaded the free version of ESXi. VirtualCenter and VI (Foundation, Standard, Enterprise) customers are not affected.

For those of you that do not know what the RCLI is, here is an except from VMware;

VMware Infrastructure Remote CLI
The VMware Infrastructure Remote CLI provides a command-line interface for datacenter management from a remote server.
