So, two of the things it is difficult to do these days is to stay current, and to have the time to develop deep knowledge about something, especially if it's something that is a weak area for you.
For me, one of those areas is networking, so one of the sessions I was looking forward to at las week's Indy VMUG was by Kendrick Coleman, entitled "Physical NIC Designs and vSwitch Layouts". It was a lot of info and his presentation was fast paced to fit the timeslot, but I knew he'd be at least posting the slide deck.
I should have known better. I should have known it would be a rabbit hole.
Added to that, I now have:
Michael Webster - "Etherchannel and IP Hash or Load Based Teaming?"
Frank Denneman - "IP-HASH VERSIS LBT"
Ken Cline - "The Great vSwich Debate" Parts 1-8, but I'll probably just get the PDF
Chris @ Walh Network - "A Look at NFS on VMware"
Chris @ Walh Network - "NFS on vSphere - A Few Misconceptions"
Chris @ Walh Network - "NFS on vSphere - Technical Deep Dive on Same Subnet Storage Traffic"
Chris @ Walh Network - "NFS on vSphere - Technical Deep Dive on Multiple Subnet Storage Traffic"
Then there's the video - Advanced Security & Networking Demo for View using F5 BIG-IP
And all of this is on top of the two books I have staring at me:
Scott Lowe - Mastering VMware vSphere 5
Guthrie/Lowe/Saidel-Keesing - VMware vSphere design
I'm registered for a couple classes this semester and I'm out early on Tuesdays. Maybe I can try to make Tuesdays reading/education days.
