VMWare's Virtual Data Center Operating System (VDC-OS)

Channel Partners

VMware announced its plans to develop a Virtual Data Center Operating System. VDC-OS will address customers’ needs for flexibility, speed, resiliency and efficiency by transforming the datacenter into an “internal cloud” – an elastic, shared, self- managing and self-healing utility that can federate with external clouds of computing capacity freeing IT from the constraints of static hardware-mapped applications.

You can read more about it here.

Ask the Tech

What is the command to kill an active port session from the Cyclades ACS command line?

Two steps are required to kill a session. First you need to find out the PID of the session you want to kill, then, you kill that PID. 

To find out the PID, enter the command “w”. It will list all the active sessions you current have in the ACS:

#
[root@ACS5000-Mirapath root]# w
07:50:07 up 3:03, 2 users, load average: 0.99, 0.51, 0.19 
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT 
root ttyS0 - 4:48am 2:36m 0.97s 0.56s -sh 
root ttyp0 192.168.160.34 7:50am 0.00s 0.60s 0.08s /bin/sh /usr/bi

CAS users : 1 
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ PID/Command 
root ttyS1 192.168.160.34:53466 07:49am 6856/-RW_srv ttyS1 
[root@ACS5000-Mirapath root]# 

In this case, there is only 1 session opened and the PID is 6856. 

To kill this session, enter the command
[root@ACS5000-Mirapath root]# kill 6856
