Oracle: Unbreak my Linux Heart

Dell has released version 6.5 of their OpenManage repository with firmware and BIOS updates as well as Linux monitoring of hardware found in Dell servers.

At work we are in the process of upgrading our VMware infrastructure to vSphere with new Vmax storage from EMC. One of the new features is VAAI , vStorage APIs for Array Integration. This abstracts certain aspects of storage to the SAN layer, where e.g. cloning can be a mere functional call that is then handled transparantly for the layer above. Yellow Bricks has a great post on VAAI sweetness collected from twitter and gathered or our convenience. Awesome!
