This little easter egg has apparently been around for a while, but I never knew about it. To enable the hidden easter egg in VMware Fusion 3, hold down Shift-Control-Command-Option and press V. You will then be relieving your childhood playing pong. This is really cool.
David Owen aka @vMackem and myself are trying to organise 5 or 6 a side football game each week in the North East of England. We will be looking to play somewhere between Middlesbrough and South Shields. If anyone is interested in playing either ping us on twitter or leave a comment on this post. Once we have enough numbers we will vote on the location (based on the majorities location). We will also hold a North East vBeers afterwards as well, to finish off the game in traditional style 🙂

Today playing in my lab I had an issue running some VMs on a SSD. It turns out the Host Cache Configuration was causing some issues running the VMs on the same SSD. You enable host cache when creating a datastore on a SSD, but how do you disable it? Its not an option on the datastore properties. To disable Host Cache Configuration follow the steps below: Select Configuration Tab Select Host Cache Configuration under software Right Click on the SSD Datastore and Select Properties Disable Checkbox for Allocate space for host cache Click OK DONE!! Thats it, host cache has been disabled.
