PowerCLI: APIs made easy “Project Onyx”
Sep 2nd
For those of you who are living on Mars it is VMworld, No I am not there but I am trying to keep up with all the information coming from VMworld.
One of the coolest things I have seen is “Project Onyx”
Onyx is a cryptocrystalline form of quartz, but apart from that its also a code name for a cool new app the VMware PowerCLI team are working on.
Project Onyx basically allows you to record what you are doing in the virtual infrastructure client and turn it into PowerCLI scripts, so all those things you wanted to script but never knew how can now be achieved.
The PowerCLI team will be giving this new tool to a select few at VMworld to test as it is still in beta, hopefully a wider beta will be released at some point in the future.
For the meantime why don’t you check out the PowerCLI Blog for more information here (Love the paperclip reference)

My only chance of getting to VMworld this year is to win a all expenses paid trip, luckly enough Veeam have launched a competition which I have entered and first prize is a all expenses trip to San Francisco -VMworld 2009.
I always add my scripts to this blog for free and now Im hoping you may be able to help me out by simply voting for me at the following location: Thanks in advance !

Come on, we can’t let the woman in a bra beat me (No not you Gabe the other one)!
VI Toolkit Lab @ VMWorld
Mar 8th
Whilst at VMWorld I managed to sit in on the very popular VI toolkit Lab, this was one of around 10 labs which were running during the day and people could go up and run through some testing on a pre-built lab environment all for themselves.
This gives people a great opportunity to play and mess with things that they may not get a chance to do in there normal line of work.
VMTN: Ask The Experts – How did it Go ?
Mar 4th
I wanted to say thanks to everyone that came to see us at VMWorld Europe 2009 in Cannes, and especially the people who asked me some questions.
After a slow start to the first day it picked up and we had a fair few visits from people the second day. I especially want to thank the German guy who came well prepared, he had a sheet of A4 paper full of questions for me. I think I managed to answer most of them.
I had some interesting questions from some other people who I have promised to write a few scripts for, I will post these on my blog, hopefully over the next couple of weeks.
The Frenchman in Cannes
Mar 3rd
In one of the VMTN Round table podcasts I was mistakenly taken for a Frenchman as my last name is Renouf and I guess this sounds French to the Americans, whilst I haven’t found a way to re-pay John Troyer for this mistake yet I certainly will.
It would seem that at VMworld I was recognised as ‘The Frenchman’ rather than the guy who writes PowerShell scripts or the guy from the UK, I was expecting this after the multiple blog posts which have been added by people stating that I was French. I decided to go prepared and the below is the sum of my payback !
