Manfred Meier over at VMwareDirectory has launched a new utility. The vGuestExplorer is a Windows Explorer style tool which can copy files and folders to and from Virtual Machines, even without Network connectivity.
It connects through PowerCLI and VIX API to the ESXi Host or vCenter Server and lists all Virtual Machines with running VMware Tools. The files are retrieved and managed by VMware Tools on the Guest Virtual Machine. It will save you time, creating and connecting ISO files or disks to Virtual Machines to transfer files.
Content Gallery – As VMware continues to expand our content pack coverage to security, Networking, Compute and Storage, they have introduced a new way to Import, Export, Share and Manage Content packs for both administrators and users.
Active Directory – Log Insight is now fully integrated with Active Directory including support for users, groups, profiles and roles.
Light speed response – Self tuning, predictive analytics engine that ensures immediate response to queries and dashboards even as the data sets grows beyond the terabyte mark.
In-Place upgrade – Log Insight now supports in-place upgrade from 1.0 GA and from previous technical previews, enabling seamless adoption of new functionality as it becomes available to our technical preview program members without impact on production or test environments.
Intuitive and self-managing – Featuring a redesigned self-monitoring and archive tracking interface, vSphere integration wizard and enhanced query auto complete.
