Purging old data from a vCenter Server DB

17 January 2014
No comments

Reading Time: 4 minutes In the previous post we have talk about the VMware Horizon View Event database and how purge the old data in order to free some space. You can have similar issue also with the VMware vCenter Server database, considering that it can continuous grow due to the statistics and also due to the events/tasks. In really small system a simple solution could be re-install a fresh version of vCenter Server (maybe during an upgrade) and re-create all the configuration stored only in the vCenter Server database. But in several cases this approach is not realistic. […]

Purging old data from a View Event DB

16 January 2014

Reading Time: 3 minutes In an installation of VMware Horizon View one requirement is the VMware Composer database to keep track of the various pools with linked clones. But this is the only mandatory DB (if you have linked clones), because for the various View Connection Servers there isn’t any strictly database strictly requirement, since they exchange and share data via a specific data structure based on Active Directory Lightweight Mode (actually an LDAP tree replicated between each replication server). But in real scenario, it becomes useful, from the management point of view, set up a shared database for […]

New year, new site

1 January 2014
Comments off

Reading Time: < 1 minute With the new year, there was an opportunity to fix the site (started on July 24, 2011), especially in order to replace the theme and some plugins that were no longer up to date and easily to keep updated. Compared to what happened long ago, there has been no change in the domain of the site, but some URLs may not work (because some permalinks, due to the changing of the multilingual module, may not be all up to date). In those cases, just report the problems using the comment form. Happy 2014!
