Well it’s good to see active development from the Kodiak team. They released version 0.0.2 today but I still can’t get around the trust issues that they’ve even posted a work around for. I still have some invites left so if you need one just post a comment and i’ll try to get them out as soon as I can.
Duncan from Yellow-Bricks.com posted a great review here of version 0.0.1 if you’d like to catch up on the hype.
Taken from their release notes:
New functionality:
We have added support for configuring existing virtual machines. All the expected functions are available. Configuration for a Virtual Machine is accessible via the configure button attached to a given VM object on the screen (Inspector Panels / Map)Configuration of all standard resources is available, e.g. Memory Size, CPU allocation/shares, virtual disks, virtual NICs, and removable devices.
Usage Notes
- Virtual disks are of the “preallocated/thick” type, support for all disk types will be available in the next release.
- ‘Host-device-backed’ virtual devices (e.g. floppy/cdrom/raw) are not supported, but will be available in a future release.
- ‘Remote-backed’ virtual devices (e.g. floppy/cdrom/ISO images on the client) are not supported, but will be available in a future release.
- VMs must be powered off for configuration. While it is possible to reconfigure a running VM, it may result in a host fault that will cause your changes to be discarded.
- If you make changes to a VM that you don’t want to commit, simply close the configure window and the changes will be discarded, (or hit the discard button).
- Support for VM Creation will be available in the next release.
Known Issues
- Untrusted certificates on windows may cause an authorization dialog to continually appear. The certificate must be added to the local store, please see this page for a work-around.
- License keycodes are case sensitive, please ensure you enter them exactly.
- VirtualCenter is not yet fully supported. While it might work, functionality is not guaranteed to give predictable results. We are currently adapting Kodiak’s back-end data model to more effectively handle VirtualCenter’s data structures.

Is there anyone that can send me an invite. Would really love to test this software with my ESXI server. Have a mac, and it is a pain in the … to always have to start windows up to administer my ESXI server.
