VMworld Barcelona – Where I will be

By David Hill on October 6, 2015 in VMworld

A few people have contacted me on twitter recently asking what sessions I am presenting at VMworld Barcelona 2015. This post is to provide a quick list of the sessions, and date and times of those sessions. Before we get into what where and when my sessions will be though. Lets have a quick re-cap on some of the things that happened at VMworld 2015 USA. Also watch a re-cap with Jay Marshall (who forgets he no longer works at VMware) and Gary Coburn talking about the Google vCloud Air partnership. and of course, no vCloud Air recap would be great without George Kobar having an appearance. Watch George talk about Microsoft Sharepoint on vCloud Air. Here is my list of sessions: Session Number Session Title Abstract Date/Time EXPERT SESSION Disaster Recovery and Object Storage with Expert – David Hill Meet the experts session. Come along and talk about vCloud […]

Public Speaking Tips at IT Conferences

By David Hill on August 17, 2015 in Community, VMUG, VMworld

Recently I was asked by my manager to think about how I go about presenting at IT conferences. I’ve now been presenting at IT conferences like VMworld and EMC world for the past five years and have seen my speaker scores steadily improve. For me personally this has been the greatest achievement of my career so far, becoming a comfortable public speaker and learning how to present not only content, but make it interesting for the audience. First I wanted to start with a little history on my public speaking. This is by far the most nerve racking thing I have EVER done in my life, and on this first day I would have done anything to get out of presenting a session. It is said that the fear of public speaking is a fear greater than death for most people. – Robert T. Kiyosaki I can certainly agree with […]

Wow! Its that time again already! (Although I am late publishing this)!! The VMworld 2015 content catalog has been released. Its going to be a busy one again for me this year for sure!

Error #1009 vSphere Web Client

By David Hill on June 5, 2015 in ESXi, General

Recently I have been having some issues with plugins while working in my lab. I recently wrote this article “Error 1063 vSphere Web Client” which documents how to disable selected plugins. This fixed worked for a little while, but recently I have started receving a similar error but with the Error #1009 vSphere Web Client. I tried the fix in my previous article again, however when I tried to go into the Client Plug-Ins area of the vSphere Web Client, I received the #1009 error everytime. The first thing I tried was to (obviously) Google the error, but I couldn’t find any resolution. A few people have experienced this error on the communities forum but no one had a fix for it. I phoned a friend in GSS, and they told me about an issue with cached objects that are stored in a SerenityDB folder. They aparantly have bad references […]

Nested ESXi on vCloud Air – Links

By David Hill on May 28, 2015 in Cloud Computing, ESXi, vCloud Air

So for quite some time now, lots of people keep asking me about running Nested ESXi on vCloud Air and is it possible. The answer to that question is YES, you can run Nested ESXi on vCloud Air today. George Kobar, who is a colleague of mine in Technical Marketing wrote a great blog article on how to run Nested ESXi on vCloud Air. This got me thinking about how many other people have been doing this? Is it as popular as I thought? Are people just asking the question, or are they actually doing it? I started doing some searches on the internet for blog articles from the community, and I found quite a few on this topic, which is why I am writing this article. I thought it would be good to list all the articles in one place to make it easy for people to find. I […]
