Infinite possibilities in a Virtual world
John Troyer of VMware has reported that the Nominations for this years tranche of vExperts will close at Midnight Pacific time on the 6th of Feb. Further he has stated that those who are lucky enough to be awarding the status will know by email within the “next two weeks”. So that puts it just prior to VMworld Europe. So who knows you may be pressing the flesh of the worlds first vExperts at Cannes.
Good luck to all those who have been nominated.

Congratulations on a well thought out and written post.
the multipathing issues in 3.5 U3 has been fixed, I have just received the following email form VMware support

We all know how important time keeping is in a Virtual environment and understand the concept of time drift, so we know it is important to configure your ESX host time source.
