With vRealize Operations Manager 6.0, VMware has redesigned the reclaimable capacity analysis badge and added additional functionality with the ability to set the CPU and memory on oversized virtual machines using the vCenter Python Actions Adapter.
Because we want to take advantage of vRealize Operations Manager ability to configure CPU and memory settings on our virtual machines, let's take a look at how to configure the vCenter Python Actions Adapter. Click on the Administration Link in the top left corner of the vRealize Operations Product UI. Select the vCenter Python Actions Adapter in the VMware vSphere Solutions Details window and click the Configure button, as shown in the image below.

Proactive Monitoring Tools
As I meander down the hall to my health care provider for an ultrasound, I think of the severe flu I suffered from two weeks ago. I was at home with a high fever, chills, fatigue, and coughing. At one point, my oblique muscles were very tender from all the coughing, I sneezed particularly hard and my muscles had a spasm. I stood up, light-headed, and then blacked out; my wife told me it was time to go to the doctors.
My doctor gave me a quick diagnosis, he told me that coughing, sneezing or laughing can sometimes place a sudden strain on the autonomic nervous system, which can cause you to faint. He was pretty sure that it was a combination of my severe flu, muscle spasm, and the strain from the sneeze that caused my blackout. But, to be safe, my doctor scheduled an ultrasound and some blood work. He specifically wanted to rule out the possibility of kidney stones, since the pain was in the vicinity of my kidneys. Outside of the seasonal flu, on the surface I seemed healthy, but with technology he could gain greater perspective of any underlying issues.

Virtual SAN 6.0
How is this accomplished:
- We virtualize the storage resources into VM-centric pools of capacity that are flexibly consumed
- Then we automate the delivery of storage service levels to applications through a standard approach that is common across all storage tiers

Trusted advisor, it is an often overused term, but to excel as a VMware Technical Account Manager you need to earn the trust of your customers. If you are interested in joining VMware as a Technical Account Manager, here are some of the key ingredients for becoming a trusted advisor:

When you are honest with your customer and have their self-interest in mind, these small gestures accumulate over time and your customers will come to trust your recommendations.
It's simple, approach your customers with honesty, truthfulness, and an attitude to provide the best service possible, and then you have nothing to fear when something doesn't meet expectations.
