Family Vacation at Virginia Beach
I really wanted to blog about our first real family vacatin, but got up too much in posting to Facebook , Instagram and Google+.
In any case, we’re having such a great time! Kids are enjoying being in ar the beach especially with the “big waves”. They also enjoy being in the pool using the arm floaters and life jackets to learn how to swim! It’s great seeing Roslyn and Liam having so much fun! I can also see how much joy it brings Linette seeing that they enjoy her love being in the water.
Below are some quick pics of our vacation so far.
Wtf?!?!
Light headed, feeling nauseous just feeling oblivious. Can’t even find my balance today… Will need to stay home
VDI fun
So it looks like I was able to get the PoC running again, however, I am running low and space. So I ended up removing old VMs and templates that were no longer needed. However, I was still really low on space even with VAAI enabled. Turns out that I have some templates that were in wrong datastore, I’ve vMotioned them off to the SAS datastore. I hope that frees up enough space.
UPDATE:
VM on the the on other datastore would not boot up because of a missing vmx file. All I had were the flat.vmdk files. So what I tried first was to create a new VM with the same exact specs to recreate a vmx file. That was not possible because of the missing disk descriptor(vmdk). So I had to create the descriptor based off of the flat file(the VM Contents). Pretty much followed this KB:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1002511
After that, I re-created the VMX file as described in this KB
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1002294
Now I just have some missing PCI devices, which is probably the nVidia K2 card that needs to be re-added to the VM.
Fun Stuff!
MRI
Had an MRI done on my right wrist to see if there’s any damage from the bike accident. I can see how an MRI can freak people out, especially children. You can’t move for 20-25 minutes, you’re slid into a big cylindrical container, and the noise is extremely loud. I’m guessing its from the magnet adjustments. Anyway, I tried to take a nap to make the time go faster, but never did.
I should here back from the doctor in the next day or 2.

Meh… Didn’t really feel like riding today. Nonetheless I pushed myself to get out the door. Was a bit foggy and damp. Felt good on the bike, just my head wasn’t there today. Kept the cadence high at about 85-95rpm and alternating overgear around 65-70rpm. Felt some strain in knee when trying to push 50×12. Still getting stronger.
Cut the workout short by 15 minutes.
Upgrading SQL Server Express to R2
Had to upgrade SQL Server Express 2008 to R2 because of the 10GB limitation on SQLEE. Upgrading seemed easier than I expected, from what I read all I need to do is select maintenance during setup and select upgrade. SQL Server Express had to be upgraded my vCenter that was being used for a VDI PoC.
UPDATE:
upgrade went far smoother than expected. Upgraded the SQL instance, restarted Agent and SQL Service. DONE.
vCenter started up fine with no problems.
I love easy solutions.
now i can finally move forward with the VDI PoC.
Happy Birthday to my darling wife
