		<description><![CDATA[I was conversing with William Lam about my blog entry Protecting ESX VMFS Stores with Automation and we exchanged ideas on the simple automation script that I originally posted. William is well versed in bash and has brought more functionality to the original automation script. We now have a have a rolling backup set 10 versions deep with folder augmented organization based [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago I shared some interesting information about VMFS volumes that I found using direct analysis in my blog named Understanding VMFS volumes. This spawned some discussions on the VMware Community forums and it became apparent that an automated backup of the critical VMFS info could be useful in the event of an undesirable security event that impacts our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ COMSTAR is a new breed of open source storage product available to the world. What was traditionally a closed and proprietary storage capability is now available to our open source communities. With OpenSolaris and COMSTAR the ability to freely provision virtual storage services over very mature high end protocols on standard commodity server hardware is now a reality. High performance transports [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OpenSolaris, ZFS, iSCSI and VMware are a great combination for provisioning Disaster Recovery (DR) systems at exceptionally low cost. There are some fundamentally well suited features of ZFS and VMFS volumes that provide a relatively simply and very efficient recovery process for VMware hosted non-zero RPO crash consistent recovery based environments. In this weblog I will demonstrate [...]]]></description>
