Yet More Virtualisation Resources..

As promised, here's some more useful resources about Virtualisation:

The Virtual Server Community site looks like it's becoming 'the place to go' for Virtualisation info.

The MSPress Virtual Server 2005 Resource Kit isn't out yet (not until the 22nd August), but there are some Sample Chapters available here.

• Installing Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1
• This is an excellent chapter - it really does cover everything you'll need to know (including how to get it running on Vista and details on how to do security delegation).
• Virtual Server 2005 R2 Advanced Features
• Another great chapter - covers all you need to know about virtual hard disks (VHDs), Networking and Clustering.
• Best Practices for Configuration and Performance Tuning
• Not a bad chapter - covers configuring the admin console as well as getting the best performance).
• Virtual Machine Migration Process
• Good one - covers what you need to know about CPU, Memory, Network & Disk usage of the target workload as well as how the Virtual Server Migration Toolkit (VSMT) works.

If you want to download all four chapters, just take the Table of Contents and Sample Chapters (it includes all four).

Enjoy,

Dave.
