Many people don’t know that it’s recommended to use a syslog server with ESXi. As an alternative, they can use an application built in to vMA called vilogger.

They say that you learn the most when you make mistakes and things go wrong. Well, last night I certainly must have learned a lot. What started as a simple physical re-organisation of my hardware turned into a rebuild of my production VMware ESXi server – finishing at 1am.
