Reading Time: 3 minutesNow that the PSOD on vSphere 6.5 and 10 Gbps NICs issue is finally solved seems that vSphere 6.5 critical bugs are closed, but it’s not totally true. During an upgrade from a vSphere 6.0, I’ve found a really strange iSCSI storage issues where all the VMs on the iSCSI datastore were so slow to become un-usable. First I was thinking about drivers or firmware, in the hosts and in the NIC (1 Gbps) or the firmware on the storage.
Reading Time: 2 minutesOn October 2017, I wrote a post about a possible issue with vSphere 6.5 and 10 Gbps NICs (mostly standard on new deployment). The final result was a PSOD (Purple Screen Of the Death) and no solution was available (yet). VMware KB 2151749 describe this issue as related to possible upgrade at vSphere 6.5. But other customers have report the issue also on new deployment. Veeam, one of the first vendor to found this issues (from their customers), reports that the issues is due to network-intensive activities such as backup over NBD or vMotion randomly triggering one.

Reading Time: 3 minutesOne year ago, VMware has started the bifurcation of VMware Tools for Legacy and Current Guests using of two separate delivery vehicles: VMware Tools 10.1 is available for OEM-supported guest OSs only VMware Tools 10.0.12 was for the guests OS that have fallen out of support by their respective vendors are offered “frozen”. The frozen VMware Tools will not receive feature enhancements going forward.
Reading Time: 17 minutesThis is an article realized for StarWind blog and focused on the design and implementation of a stretched cluster. A stretched cluster, sometimes called metro-cluster, is a deployment model in which two or more host servers are part of the same logical cluster but are located in separate geographical locations, usually two sites. In order to be in the same cluster, the shared storage must be reachable in both sites. Stretched cluster, usually, are used and provided high availability (HA) and load balancing features and capabilities and build active-active sites.
Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware vSAN should manage better VM snapshots compared with traditional storage and VMFS datastores. The reason is the new (v2) on-disk format in VSAN 6.0 and the new filesystem that is used: VirstoFS. VirstoFS is the first implementation of technology that was acquired when VMware bought a company called Virsto a number of years ago. Also there is a new sparse format called vsanSparse. These replace the traditional vmfsSparse format (redo logs).
Reading Time: 3 minutesIn the VMware ESXi 6.x partitions layout, usually, there is a partition called “scratch” that hosts the log, the updates, and other temporal files. Scratch space is configured automatically during installation or first boot of an ESXi host and is not required to be manually configured. If you install ESXi on a local hardware disk (or also if you are using a remote LUN in “boot from SAN” mode), this partition is built during the installation phase (it’s 4 GB Fat16 partition created on the target device during installation, if there is sufficient space). If […]
