I’ve encountered a very strange problem this morning that ping simply won’t work no matter what even after enabling the ICMP Ping on Windows 7 Ultimate firewall. Turn on the firewall log shows ICMP is being dropped, what? I did enable it in Windows Firewall, restart the VM with nothing changed.
After a close inspection, I found out why, by default Windows 7 Remote IP Address under Scope is set to Local Subnet only, no wonder, after change it to Any IP Address, life is back to normal!
I really start to like this FREE virtual appliance from Untangle, it’s basically an UTM with almost everything you need, not to mention the nice looking GUI, it’s highly recommended for any SMB who seeks for an ultimate all-in-one network protection solution!
The installation of vCloud Usage Meter OVF Appliance is very easy, just remember to assign its network NIC to your vCenter subnet and then browse to http://vCloudUsageMeter:8080/serviceprovider, add vCenter and configure all the email settings.
I found vCloud Usage Meter is very useful even you are not using vCloud Director, it serves as a good measurement of your virtual infrastructure and you can generate reports to have a better understanding of your VM usage, best of all, it’s a free!
I really enjoy cooking this kind of stuff on a quiet Sunday morning. I still remember Nonna (Grandma in Italian, my land lady) used to cook this yummy dish every Sunday during my 2 years stay in Chichester, West Sussex, England, wow…that was 20 years ago.
Although I am not particularly like Country Music, but this song is the one that moves me, and it’s also the one Leslie Cheung performed in year 2000 CRHK IDClub Concert, Good Taste, GorGor!
