VMware PEX will be replaced by Partner Business Summit

22 June 2015
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutes VMware Partner Exchange (PEX) was a big event (usually in February) for all VMware partners: like a VMworld, but smallest and for several aspects better (see VMware PEX 2013: Why attend). I’ve attend at PEX 2010 (where I had also my VCDX defense) and PEX 2013 and I consider this event really valuable for VMware’s partners with good technical sessions (better than in VMworld, in my opinion). But seems that this year’s VMware Partner Exchange conference will be the last. Going forward, VMware will morph PEX into VMWorld and add the Partner Business Summit 2016 […]

Reading Time: 14 minutes The 2014 spring (EMEA) edition of E2EVC is now over and it’s time to archive it and take some considerations. E2EVC Virtualization Conference is an independent, non-commercial, virtualization community event build from experts to experts. This edition was from Fri 12 to Sun 14th June 2015 in in Novotel Berlin Mitte Hotel, Fischerinsel 12, 10179, Berlin, Germany. This was my third E2EVC event (I’ve attend at the E2EVC XX Rome and E2EVC 2014 Brussels) and I can confirm the reason to attend at this kind of event (see E2EVC 2014 Brussels: Why attend).

Nested Hyper-V in Windows Server 2016?

12 June 2015
Comments off

Reading Time: 2 minutes Until now Microsoft simple does not support nested virtualization in its Hyper-V product. Nothing wrong with it, but it’s a case where not supported means also that it simple does not work at all. So the only way to test Hyper-V (or other hypervisor) in a lab with a single physical system (server or client) was using other hypervisors (VMware ESXi, Workstation, or also Paralles or others). Or using this trick (useful also with the new hardware requirement of the next Hyper-V) but with the big limit where the VMs cannot be powered on at […]

11 June 2015
Comments off

Reading Time: 2 minutes Recently I’ve got a strange issue on ESXi 6.0: after an host reboot the ESXi hosts display a false positive warning: Deprecated VMFS volume(s) found on the host. Please consider upgrading volume(s) to the latest version Starting with vSphere 6.0 the VMFS3 version is now deprecated, but in my case all block based datastores were already at VMFS version 5!
