VMware ESXi is a free bare-metal hypervisor that can be used to virtualize laptops. It has low resource usage which allows laptops to run virtual machines all day without overheating. The document provides instructions for installing ESXi on laptops and ensuring the network drivers are correctly configured by replacing the OEM file. Examples are given of running ESXi on different laptops and using it to virtualize an OpenSolaris environment.

How to Optimize Microsoft Hyper-V Failover Cluster and Double PerformanceStarWind Software
High availability in a virtualized workload may require to sacrifice failover cluster performance. Using an optimized for virtualization approach on data storage and virtual machines placement and protection will give you desired boost of performance.
The presentation shows how to:
- Achieve true Hyper-V cluster high availability with just 2 Hyper-V hosts and zero storage hardware
- Boost Hyper-V cluster performance by configuring automatic dynamic optimization
- Effectively track VMs resources usage
- Save an extra 30% of Hyper-V cluster resources by utilizing agentless antivirus

The virtualization market is abuzz with talk of different hypervisors – most prominently VMware ESX® versus Microsoft Hyper-V®, who together own over 90% of the market. Small and medium businesses are already moving quickly toward Hyper-V, and a growing number of larger organizations are beginning to put plans in place to transition some portion of their environment from ESX to Hyper-V.
In this webcast we explore the reasons for these changes and the ecosystems for these two platforms both now and in the future. We also take a look ahead to what is known about Hyper-V 3.0 and why it warrants an even deeper look when evaluating hypervisors for your future virtualization deployments.

Hypervisors and Virtualization - VMware, Hyper-V, XenServer, and KVMvwchu
With co-presenter Maninder Singh, delivered a presentation about hypervisors and virtualization technology for an independent topic study project for the Operating System Design (EECS 4221) course at York University, Canada in October 2014.
Virtualization, briefly, is the separation of resources or requests for a service from the underlying physical delivery of that service. It is a concept in which access to a single underlying piece of hardware is coordinated so that multiple guest operating systems can share a single piece of hardware, with no guest operating system being aware that it is actually sharing anything at all.

Introduction - vSphere 5 High Availability (HA)Eric Sloof
VMware HA clusters enable a collection of ESXi hosts to work together so that, as a group, they provide higher levels of availability for virtual machines than each ESXi host could provide individually. When you plan the creation and usage of a new VMware HA cluster, the options you select affect the way that cluster responds
to failures of hosts or virtual machines.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

2. What is VMware?
Vmware is major application in Virtualization Solution.
Many Applications are officially supported running on VMware.
Vmware is now releasing ‘free’ Applications – ‘VMWare
Servers’,’VMWare Player’,’VMWare ESXi’.You might use such
applications for evaluations.
2
3. Why ESXi on laptops
ESXi is bare-metal systems – being closer to physical systems
than OS virtualization like Vmware or VMware Server or
Virtualbox.And it is ‘Free’.
Low consumption watts laptops have save the costs and running
all the day without cooling conditions.
There were many laptops I didn’t use some of them would work
ESXi so I would re-use them.
3
4. The point of using ESXi on laptop
Does the laptop have Gigabit adapters?Gigabit is needed for
network traffics.
Does the laptop have NIC for ESXi?Check carefully there are a bit
adapters VMware has certificated except Intel’s NIC.
• Check the link:http://www.vm-help.com/esx/esx3i/customize_oem_tgz.php
I strongly recommend CPU supports Intel VT or AMD-V so that
Virtual Machines on ESXi would work fine.
I strongly recommend not to use Intel Atom.it Works Veeeery
Slowly we cant impatient!

5. Installation of VMware ESXi
Installing ESXi image to USB
• I tried to use ‘unetbootin’ to make it.
• Change customized ‘oem.tgz’ with ‘oem.tgz’ in USB image.
• DO NOT forget renaming the name for changing oem.gz
Installing ESXi on your laptop.
• Following the menu,you can make it.but if you fail to change ‘oem.tgz’ installer
stops.
Making Linux LiveUSB image for mounting ESXi on your laptops
• Just after the installation,we miss customized ‘oem.tgz’ so we should reinstall
customized ‘oem.gz’ on your laptops.
• DO NOT forget including ‘customized’ oem.tgz to the LIveUSB.
• LiveUSB running you should check with ‘mount’ command to find ESXi on your laptop.
• Finding the mountpoint for ESXi,you should copy oem.tgz for it.
Then you can use ESXi :)
5
6. Installation of VMware ESXi (Checking image with LiveUSB)
Check the ESXi image in the disk with LiveUSB using 'mount -l' command.
# mount –l
...(snif)...
/dev/sda4 on /mnt/disc/sda4 type vfat (ro,uid=500)
[Hypervisor0]/dev/sda5 on /mnt/disc/sda5 type vfat (ro,uid=500)
[Hypervisor1]/dev/sda6 on /mnt/disc/sda6 type vfat (ro,uid=500)
[Hypervisor2]/dev/sda8 on /mnt/disc/sda8 type vfat (ro,uid=500)
[Hypervisor3]
...(snif)…
*/dev/sda5 is used for ESXi
# ls /mnt/disc/sda5
boot.cfg cim.vgz mod.tgz pkgdb.tgz vmkboot.gzcimstg.tgz license.tgz oem.tgz
sys.vgz vmk.gz
Checking the oem.tgz it is empty file and /dev/sda5 is prohibited writing so you should
remount /dev/sda5 to overwrite customized oem.tgz
# umount /mnt/disc/sda5
# mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/disc/sda5
# cp -p /mnt/disc/sdb1/RTL8111_8168_P55_integr_SATA_Ctrl.(AHCI).oem.tgz
/mnt/disc/sda5/oem.tgz

11. Wrap up
ESXi is useful bare-metal virtualization tool.and Free.
Many of software vendor now have certificated their softwares on
VMware.
ESXi works good on some Laptop,that has,you know,ultra low
consumption watts can work on all the day.
Before you try it,you should consider network equitments built on
your Laptops(how it can work and it has a gigabit Ethernet)
When you installing it,you should take care of changing 'oem.tgz'
for network driver for ESXi.(follow the instruction in this preso)
I hope Client software (Vsphere Client) running on Linux or Some
OSS-based OS.
Give a try,have a fun :)
