This document provides an agenda and overview of VMware vSphere and how to install the vSphere client and vCenter server. It defines vSphere as VMware's virtualization platform, lists its main components as the ESXi hypervisor, vSphere client, and vCenter server. It then provides step-by-step instructions for installing the vSphere client to manage ESXi servers and vCenter server to manage multiple ESXi servers and their VMs from a single interface.
Presentation given for ILTA in 12/2010 detailing the key preparations and migration strategies, as well as demonstrated several techniques to migrate your infrastrcuture to ESXi 4.1
This article demonstrates how iStorage Server works under VMware ESX Server. Such powerful combination will expand the application scope of your virtual server, thereby enabling WINDOWS server to expand the storage of your virtualized server. It also allows you to directly use the storage devices of the existing Windows server for VMware ESX Server. With IP SAN solution provided by iStorage Server, you may set up operating system, install application and server software, as well as store data required by your virtual machines. Your ESX Server storage can be expanded in the following 3-most-commonly-used ways:
• Use Virtual Image File Disk Device to create a file-based virtual storage device for VMware ESX Server, this allows quick data migration and backup.
• Directly use the physical disk or partition of Windows server. This enables you to make good use of resource. No additional configurations, just add the storage media to iSCSI Targets.
• Use CD/DVD/RW bridge device or Virtual CD/DVD to map physical CD/DVD drives or CD/DVD image files (iso, .bin, .mdf, .cdi, .b5i, .nrg, .ccd, .sub, .img, .raw) on your Windows server to CD/DVD devices on VMware ESX Server virtual machine.
After iStorage Server 2.0, it supports server side mirroring, synchronous replication and failover which allows user to create a high-availability iSCSI SAN for VMware ESX / ESXi Server.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

3. What is VMware vSphere?
Its one of the virtualization platform from VMware's Enterprise
Other VMware Virtualization Platforms:
vsphere Desktop and Vmware view
Vmware workstation
Other Vendor Virtualization Platforms:
Citrix Xenserver
Microsoft Hyper-V
4. Main components of vSphere 5
ESXi 5:
Hypervisor Operating system that runs on the physical
server. (Type 1 hypervisor)
vSphere Client:
To install, manage and access virtual servers
vCenter Server:
Its is similar to vSphere client, used to manage multiple ESX
servers and virtual machines.
5. Installation of Vsphere client 5.0
The vSphere Client is used to connect to and manage
either ESXi servers individually, or more often to connect to a
vCenter server to manage multiple ESXi servers in a single
interface.
STEP: 1
13. Installation of Vcenter server 5.0
VMware vCenter Server is the management system for your VMware
vSphere private cloud It's used to manage your clusters of ESXi
servers, configure HA, DRS and vMotion, manage your virtual
networks and their interfaces to the physical network.
Its also used to provison storage (maybe even integrated with your
SAN) and create virtual machines, including templates and other
wonderful things.
15. Minimum Requirements for the vCenter Server
Processor: Two 64-bit CPUs Intel or AMD x64 2.0GHz or faster
Memory: 4GB RAM (RAM requirements may be higher if your
database runs on the same machine)
Disk storage: 5GB (Disk requirements may be higher if your
database runs on the same machine)
Networking: 1GB recommended (If physical team NICs for
redundancy)
Operating System: Windows Server 2008 (64-bit), Windows
Server 2008 R2
