Extremely insightful, thanks Bob the details matter obviously and as others glance over or make assumptions about levels of comprehension of tech of others via gatekeeping in the the space. I am glad to getting refreshing video of professionals like yourself that make it work and easily troubleshoot and explain issues- you make it look too easy...👏

Very helpful. Their naming conventions seem to be all over the place.

It gets confusing fast. :) Hope this helped!

Seems there's a bit of confusion between "VMware" and vCenter. None of the products is called "VMware" and no single product is called "vSphere." You may want to review this video and consider a re-post. Also, there are about six ways to move a VM from a single host to another single host. SCP is one. Backup/restore is another. Setting up a temporary-for-60-days vCenter is another. Export/Import, yet again. Then there's download/upload. Oy!
Enjoy your server and other VMware-oriented videos overall. Keep going!

Thanks for the feedback!!!
The documentation seems to continue to call it VMware vSphere 8, so I based my comments on that. Here's a sample doc from their site: www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/docs/vmware-infographics-vsphere-eight.pdf
