Reading Time: 2 minutesAs written in the VMware Data Recovery (VDR) as a backup solution post, VDR could be a possible backup solution for small environment (if there are big budget constraints). But some issues are really quite difficult to handle with this appliance and the biggest one is the integrity of CIFS NAS destinations. If you cannot avoid them and for some reason you cannot limit them to 0.5 TB for each destination, you may have some integrity check errors (sometimes). Most of them could depend by some damaged restore points, in this case you can view […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesAs written in the previous post related to the upgrade to vSphere 5, the old VCB framework can still be used also with latest version, but is a not supported configuration (I’ve made the test only with a Windows Server 2008 R2 for the VCB proxy, but I suppose that works also with previous OS). Of course the SAN transport mode could not work (or not if you use VMFS5), but the NBD works as on the old vSphere 4.x. The only issue that I get (but honestly I’ve make only few tests) is on […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesOne trend in the last year(s) is that the virtualization ecosystem is growing outside the boundary where was born: historical partner vendor of VMware now are extending their solution to other hypervisors, and also also new products are designed to managed a more complex virtual environment. This was also called “Hypervisor Agnosticism” in a VKernel post. We do not talk about interoperability across different hypervisors, but simple use same tools, especially for management, monitoring and data protection, for more type of products. Does it make sense? For a single customer maybe not… have multiple environment […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteDuring the upgrade to Workstation 8.0.2 (on 64 bit Windows 7 OS) I’ve got a curios issue that I want to share. Basically for some strange reason the previous version was not removed correctly and the new one was not able to install itself because the setup program fail during the old version check. Also from control panel was not possible remove the old package. The documented (from the command line prompt) option in the exe file does not resolve this issue (also with the /clean option). And the manual remove of previous version was […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteKindle Fire is a tablet from Amazon, based on Android, that may become a competitor of the Apple iPad (considering also the interesting price). Although this tablet use Android, the recent new View Client for Android wasn’t included in the Amazon Android App Store. This lack as been correct in the last days, and now the new release 1.3 of the View Client, with PCoIP support, is available also for Kindle Fire. An alternative client (not strictly limited to VMware View solution) could also be the new release of Wyse PocketCloud (but actually still lack […]
