MRBAlign for ESX availability is now live on NetApp NOW site
I know some of you have been waiting patiently for MBRAlign after finding out that your ESX Virtual Machines have been out of alignment all this time (A common trend which affects nearly everyone who uses ESX!)
Well, the wait is over! Now you can actually go and download MBRAlign directly from the NetApp toolchest, without having to wait for someone (like me;)) to give you a copy to download! (I do appreciate you asking, and am more than happy to provide you the tools in any event :))
If you’ve used the MBRScan tool before, in order to determine if your machines are aligned or not, that is still available as part of the VMware ESX Host Utilities Kit (v5)
And now you can download MBRAlign directly from the NetApp Toolchest! Hoorah! I implore you to please read the mbralign.pdf first before you do anything!
For some additional information on this, I encourage you to check out the NetApp community article which echos a number of these statements.
UPDATE – mbralign is available from the ToolChest on the now.netapp.com website
So, check it out, let me know if you run into any problems or issues and I’ll see what I can do about em! ;)
