In one of my last articles I wrote about PHD Virtual's esXpress there were some great free tools I found about on the PHD Virtual's website. Sho why not tho share this with you guys..
Virtual SAN 1.0.0 – It's a virtual SAN appliance for VMware ESX 3 Server. It uses the local disks which are not used to facilitate enterprise-level features such as vMotion, DRS and HA.
SnapHunter 0.5.3 – ( For ESX 3) – it is a service console tool which gives you the possibility to have a reports of VMs snapshots from multiple ESX Servers.
KS QuickConfig 1.3.0 –Â Windows GUI tool which is usefull when you deploy and configure several configurations which are identical (for Mware ESX 3 servers).
Patch Downloader 6.00 – As you might guess, Patch Downloader is able to automate the downloading of patches for various ESX versions from the VMware site. Might be a great alternative of VMware update manager, if you don't have vCenter Server installed.
VMNetBac 1.2.0 – This tool allows you to backup and restore the network configuration of a virtual machine. By using this tool you'll be able to quick save the necessary configuration before upgrading your VMs to a different hardware version.
