LLDP issues with DVS and Dell switches

3 October 2017
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutesThe Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on an IEEE 802 local area network, usually with Ethernet standard. Compared to Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) it’s not proprietary and can be used from different vendors. VMware vSphere adds LLDP capability in the Distribuited Virtual Switches (DVS). CDP it’s also available both in DVS, but also in standard virtual switches (by default it’s enabled in listen mode).

Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware has released a new version of vCloud Director: this is a major release with version number 9.0.

So vCloud Director is still alive and still the first (and actually only) choice, using VMware products, for service providers. Actually vRA is not yet able to replace it in this special use case.

VM compatibility in a VMware cluster

26 September 2017
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutesIn a VMware infrastructure, when you build a new VM, the default compatibility level could depend on your vSphere version, from which client you are using (the legacy vSphere Client does not ask for VM virtual hardware version in the default wizard), but also from your cluster settings. VM virtual hardware version defines exactly the compatibility level, but you can define the default level using the vSphere Web Client or the new HTML5 Client.
