I’m a couple days behind on this, been extremely busy at work getting ready to go live with our SAP Deployment on July 2nd.  Anyways, enough crying to you about my busy schedule.   Nava Davuluri wanted me to help get the word out about the new VMware Sample Code website (titled Code Central).

This will be a site dedicated to the developer community, sample codes related to products such as the new vSphere CLI, vCLI, Perl Toolkit, Java Webservices SDK and much much more. Check out the site today for great code from other bloggers such as Eric Sloof and Alan Renouf!

Also be sure to check out the Code Central Blog!

In the VTMN Communities, William Lam, created a new HealthCheck script that I will be definietely adding to my HealthCheck Arsenal.  More information on the script and its usage can be found in the VTMN Communities posting.

The script reports on the following:

• vCenter Build/Release
• ESX/ESXi Build/Release
• Cluster(s) Name/Statistics (Hosts,CPU and MEM availabity, HA,DRS and DPM enabled)
• ESX/ESXi Hardware configuration (NICs/HBAs)
• ESX/ESXi State
• ESX/ESXi Config (WIP)
• ESX/ESXi Datastore summary
• Virtual Machines summary
• VM Storage summary
• VM Network summary
• VM w/Snapshots
• VM w/RDMs
• VM w/NPIV enabled
• VM w/connected CD-ROMs
• VM w/connected Floppys

For more details, please take a look at the sample report located at here. The requirements for this script are: vCenter 2.5, ESX(i) 3.5, VI-Perl Toolkit or VIMA.

Just like Duncan states, this script can be compared to the PowerShell HealthCheck scripts and the Service Console script.
