VMware vSphere 4.1 HA and DRS Technical Deepdive zooms in on two key components of every VMware based infrastructure and is by no means a "how to" guide. It covers the basic steps needed to create a VMware HA and DRS cluster, but even more important explains the concepts and mechanisms behind HA and DRS which will enable you to make well educated decisions. This book will take you in to the trenches of HA and DRS and will give you the tools to understand and implement e.g. HA admission control policies, DRS resource pools and host affinity rules. On top of that each section contains basic design principles that can be used for designing, implementing or improving VMware infrastructures.

2 Free products every VMware lab must have
Last year, Veeam launched the not-for-resale (NFR) promotion for VMware VCPs, VCIs and vExperts (VCAPs and VCDXs as well). This provides VMware community members 2 sockets of two popular Veeam products. This is a very successful program, but in case you haven’t heard, the VMware community can still have NFR licensing for Veeam Backup & Replication v5 and Veeam ONE.
There is only one guideline for this program: An NFR license can only be used in non-production environment and for evaluation, demonstration and training purposes only.
These are the perfect tools for a VMware lab environment. Veeam Backup & Replication v5 is great for backup and restore capability. Plus, this offering of Veeam ONE includes three products: Veeam Monitor, Veeam Reporter and Veeam Business View which provide great visibility into the VMware environment.

VMware vSphere PowerCLI Course by Hal Rottenberg
In this demo from Train Signal's VMware vSphere PowerCLI course, Hal Rottenberg shows how to use PowerCLI to get a VM host that is in maintenance mode and move it to an existing cluster. He'll then go into detail about cluster settings and how to make changes to them using PowerCLI. You can use these and other High Availability tasks in your own environment to minimize downtime in case of a host or virtual machine outage.
