VMware vSphere 5.1 upgrade path

13 February 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutesThe upgrade path to vSphere 5.1 is quite similar to the upgrade path to vSphere 5.0 and is well described in the specific guide (vSphere Upgrade Guide). In some cases an in-place upgrade can be applied with the advantage to require less time and to keep all (or most) of the settings and configurations. For example, a vCenter Server 4.1 can be directly updated to the 5.1 version (the requirements of the two versions are quite the same) or an old ESXi can be updated to ESXi 5. But in most cases, also when the […]

EqualLogic SRA for VMware SRM

8 February 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutesFor the new SRM 5.1 a new EqualLogic SRA is required (version 2.2) and it’s available both on EqualLogic site (in the support section) and VMware site (in the SRM download page). The upgrade procedure is simple and it’s described in the previous post. You have simple to run the installation. But there is now a new interesting option on how storage replication (note that are used asynchronous replication) are handled:

VMware SRM 5.1 update

7 February 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: 4 minutesAs usual the upgrade path is explained in the official guide, in this case in the SRM Install and Config guide (page 23). You have also to check the VMware Product Interoperability Matrixes to find how is compatible with other VMware components. Usually you need to upgrade secondary products, like SRM or View before upgrade the core part (vSphere). For for SRM there is also a special note: you have to upgrade versions of SRM earlier than 5.0 to SRM 5.0 or 5.0.1 before you upgrade to 5.1 or 5.0.1! Note that upgrading vCenter Server […]

VMware View 5.1 update path

6 February 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: 4 minutesI’ve already describe the upgrade path to VMware View 5.1, but things change and there are additional patches for this View version (that is currently in version 5.1.2). Of course also HCL may change (with more support) and, for example, recent version of View 5.1 are fully compatible with recent version of vSphere 5.1.

Using PCoIP on WAN connections

28 January 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: 5 minutesIn a View environment the PCoIP is usually the right choice and on a LAN works really well (see also the previous post about PCoIP and RDP differences). But on a wide-area networks (WANs)you have to consider some aspects to have a reasonable reactivity or to maximize the number of remote clients: you must consider bandwidth constraints and latency issues. The PCoIP display protocol provided by VMware adapts to varying latency and bandwidth conditions, but some optimization may be needed.

PCoIP vs. RDP

25 January 2013
2 comments

Reading Time: 3 minutesIn a VMware View environment usually PCoIP protocol is preferred to the RDP one due to several reasons. I don’t want to spend too much time about the latency, throughput, reactivity, user experience different between those two protocols… in most cases PCoIP is better compared to RDP. But PCoIP protocol has some limits that your have to consider in your design and mainly are described in the View Architecture Planning guide.
