Create CD-ISO from files or folder on MAC OS X

Sometimes I have to create an CD ISO from files to mount them as CD on a VM. But how should i do this without searching and buying certain tools? Use the terminal!

I found the following piece of code here and wanna share it to you:

 

hdiutil makehybrid -o ~/Desktop/image.iso ~/path/to/folder/to/be/converted -iso -joliet

Configure snmp on VMware vSphere 5.5

I searched a long time to set the snmp settings on our ESXI 5.5 hosts with the vSphere webclient. NO CHANCE!

I found nothing to set the community with the vSphere web client. But i found many article where people described how to configure the snmp settings through cli. The following commands have to run within a console session on your host:

esxcli system snmp set –communities public
esxcli system snmp set –enable true
esxcli system snmp set –syscontact=“contact@mail.me
esxcli system snmp set –syslocation=“Street, postcode, city
esxcli network firewall ruleset set –ruleset-id snmp –allowed-all true
esxcli network firewall ruleset set –ruleset-id snmp –enabled true
/etc/init.d/snmpd restart

You have to customize the bold strings with your own values. After the restart of the snmpd you can monitor the host.

By the way we use Observium to monitor our hosts, server and network. Take a look!
