How are people handling vswap files on their environments? We started fairly small and grew, so I let them sit right along side the vmx and C: disk files on an OS vols datastore that dedupes on the netapp. I assume they are thick provisioned and full of zeroes since we only have ~2gb of swap memory usage on the cluster, so the dedupe pass should collapse them down to nothing and add no real overhead to the snapmirror jobs. But I could put them in a dedicated vswap datastore that we don't bother snapmirror or deduping. Not really sure if there is an advantage to changing how we're currently doing things or not.

They aren't even written to until a VM needs to swap into them. I generally just leave them alongside the .vmx file to keep things simple unless I'm replicating that datastore with an array based replicator. If your workloads are critical you can actually get rid of the swap file by making the memory reservation equal the allocated RAM.

Yeah, as a general rule of thumb, you don't really need to mess with VM file locations unless you're doing some really specialized stuff (or your have really bad storage constraints.)

evol262 posted:Brings attention to whatever company discovered the vulnerability, so people realize how awesome they are and hire them for further security work. Exactly, it benefits them to blow this thing out of proportions. Don't get me wrong, this is a bag vulnerability, but they are clearly trying to capitalize on it. The same thing was actually true with things like heart bleed. OpenSSL has more critical bugs fairly often that don't get much attention at all. The reason it got so much press is because it had a cool logo and name.

Vulture Culture posted:Heavens, not our QEMU servers with virtual floppy drives attached Was originally my thought. But assuming Red Hat knows what they're talking about, it's worse than that.. "It needs to be noted that even if a guest does not explicitly have a virtual floppy disk configured and attached, this issue is exploitable. " The naming and hyping of every single exploit is the most  thing ever. This is actually pretty bad, though.

Vulture Culture posted:Oof, yeah, that's a lot worse. I knew SoftLayer got bitten and now I know why. I'm just going to start referring to every vulnerability as YAFBO (Yet Another loving Buffer Overflow). I really hope Rust slowly takes over a lot of this, so we can at least discover a new kind of security problem. Also, Windows needs to get its poo poo together so we can disable legacy controllers.

Turn on the TV to some VMware videos and lift some 25 or 35lbs dumbells while listening to some Vmware videos, and if I didn't have poo poo to listen to then just work out watching anime!

Work hours are pretty flexible at many orgs, but VMware may have morning standups or something. Also, you may get a lot less leeway when if you end up at a company where almost every VMware person and storage person are also good, with a lot more experience, and "VMware/storage" guys are dime a dozen (which they are already)

Half the company may like you for that, if they do, run... fast. The other half will laugh and ask if you are a certified scrum-bag. Those numbers may be more like 90-10 depending on how many lovely startups we have bought this week. Dilbert As gently caress posted:If I have to show up on time I might stick where I am for another year till I can get a 30 minute buffer. You won't have to show up on time. Even if you do, you won't. VMware doesn't fire people unless you burn the building down or kill someone. They will just be passive aggressive and not give you a raise for 3 years. Although if you are a rock star, you will only get a 3% raise each year. So really not that different. If you really want an honest opinion where I don't hold back about life at VMware, PM me.

Based on my personal experience working for a vendor, and talking with others who have worked for vendors, you have to be grossly incompetent to get fired, generally, and even that takes a while. But if you have a terrible personality they will find a way to run you off pretty quickly. That said, if you're in a customer facing position being on time basically the cardinal requirement, actual competence coming in a distant second. If you're schedule to meet the customer at 9 and you show up in 1030 you won't last long. Customers often don't know enough to know if their engineer is bad, and worth complaining about, but they can at least read a clock.
