Create a custom ESXi image for your RAID Driver | 3ware 9750 SAS RAID
Situation :
I have a new server with following RAID card : 3ware 9750 SAS
I would like to run ESXi on it but my RAID card is not supported by VMWare 
Since I have only one partition , I need to modify the original ESXi iso with my own RAID driver in order to be able to install ESXi on my server..
It’s easy , follow the next three steps :
Step 1 – Extract the 3ware 9750 SAS RAID-driver
- Please go to the following url and download the iso on a linux server
- Mount that iso :
- mount -o loop /tmp/vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-3w-sas_400.3.26.00.001vm40-1.0.4.00000.229230.iso /media/
- Copy the rpm from that iso to /tmp
- cp /media/.rpm/vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-3w-sas-400.3.26.00.001vm40-1.0.4.00000.x86_64.rpm /tmp/
- Extract the content from that rpm without installing it
- cd /tmp
- rpm2cpio /tmp/vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-3w-sas-400.3.26.00.001vm40-1.0.4.00000.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
(the following is the one that we are interested in : usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/3w-sas.o
Step 2 – Create your custom oem.tgz file
- Make it yourself easy and get an already existing oem.tgz ( eg mine : oem-9750.tgz )
That way you already have the proper files and directories in place. - Extract that tgz file in an new temporarily directory (eg: /tmp/oem)
- tar xvzf oem-9750.tgz
- cp that “.o file” from step 1 to the following dir : /tmp/oem/usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/3w-sas.o
- Next, adjust the pci.ids file
- vi /tmp/oem/etc/vmware/pci.idsAdd the PCI ID of your raid card to that file.
In my case :- 13c1 3ware Inc
- 1010 9750 SAS2/SATA-II RAID PCIe(An overview of all PCI ID’s can be found here: http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids)
- vi /tmp/oem/etc/vmware/pci.idsAdd the PCI ID of your raid card to that file.
- Also adjust the simple.map file
- vi /tmp/oem_9750/etc/vmware/simple.map
- 13c1:1010 0000:0000 storage 3w-sas.o
- vi /tmp/oem_9750/etc/vmware/simple.map
- Once that is done create your oem.tgz file :
- cd /tmp/oem
- tar cvzf oem.tgz ./*
Step 3 – Create your custom ISO
- Download this excellent script from mkesxiaio | http://code.google.com/p/mkesxiaio/ on your server
- cd /tmp/my-cd
- wget http://mkesxiaio.googlecode.com/files/mkesxiaio_3.9.9.sh
- chmod a+x mkesxiaio_3.9.9.sh
- Download the ESXi iso from VMWare ( ESXi 4.1 Installable (CD ISO) to /tmp/my-cd
- Copy your custom oem.tgz (Step2) to /tmp/my-cd
- Run the script , follow the instructions, use your brains and once you are done your custom iso will be here:
- /tmp/my-cd/save/VMware_esxi_custom_4.1_oem.iso

PsicoTSI for Firefox 3.5
As you all know, after upgrading to firefox 3.5 , psicotsi does not work anymore for hattrick.
Due to previous complaints from CHPP ,I wont share an unofficial version here. But I will try to contact the author of the extension since all he needs to do is adjusting one file!
To be continued…
Update : A new version is available!
Write your own twitter mashup using the Twitter API
Thinking about writing your own twitter mashup using php ? But you don’t know how to get started ?
It’s easy , just download the following twitter wrapping class for PHP and have a look at the example code below :
This code will print out the latest replies you have received on twitter
<?
require_once(“lib/phpTwitter/twitter.php”);$t = new twitter(‘YOUR_USERNAME’,'YOUR_PASSWORD’);
echo’<pre>’;
$replies = $t->getReplies() ;
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {$reply = $replies[$i][text];
echo $reply;
echo “</br></br></br></br>”;}
// Print out the complete replies array
//print_r( $replies );echo’</pre>’;
?>
Now you know already how to retrieve and print out your replies, then it will be only a matter of walking through Tijs his class to know what else you can do with his wrapper(class)!
Eg :
- updateProfileImage
- updateProfile
- getFriends
- getPublicTimeline
- …
I am sure you will have your script running within this and an hour !
Note : Formatting code in WP seems like a tough job , so you will have to do it yourself 
Hattrick – The New Design VS PsicoTSI / Foxtrick
Since the design of hattrick is renewed recently, it is necessary (again) to upgrade to the latest version of psictsi and foxtrick. Since I am not a Certified Hattrick Product provider , I can only provide you with the url where you can find the latest Firefox extensions …
If you should have any questions regarding the installation of these extensions, don’t hesitate to leave a comment ….
Happy Holidays!
