Reading Time: 3 minutes vStorage API Introduced for the first time in vSphere the vStorage API are specific functions to permit an integration more thight with external storage functions. Note that there also other integration module that are coverd in the PSA framework. For more information see: What Is New in VMware vSphere™ 4: Storage What’s New in VMware vSphere™ 5.0 – Storage vSphere Storage API – Storage Awareness (VASA) This is a new set of APIs introduced in vSphere 5.0 that will enable VMware vCenter Server to detect the capabilities of the storage array LUNs/datastores, making it much easier […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes The vCenter Server availability could be necessary in most cases and critical for large environment (or where a lot of services depends on it). In small environment, usually, this not so critical, because most of the VMware functions still work also without vCenter Server (for more info see vCenter Server Design: Physical vs Virtual). There are at least four solutions to increase the availability for vCenter Server: use a VM for vCenter Server and use VMware HA use vCenter Server Heartbeat product use a MSCS solution for vCenter (unsupported from vSphere version) use VMware FT […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute From the version VI 3.x the vCenter Server can be deployed or on a physical server or on a virtual machine (both solutions are supported by VMware). In this page pros and cons are analyzed.
Reading Time: < 1 minute Note: VMware has removed the vRAM Entitlements concept and restriction. So this post is no more relevent! Introduced during the official announce of vSphere 5, this news in the vSphere licensing (expecially for the hosts) has been changed (the first rumor of this was mentioned here by Gabrie van Zanten). Not in the priciple (the vRAM is still the allocated vRAM of powered on VM, not the consumed vRAM) but in his value and how are counted (for example there is a max vRAM value of 96 GB for each VM): vSphere edition Previous vRAM […]

Reading Time: 5 minutes Objective 1.4 –Secure vCenter Server and ESXi Most of the references are from the vSphere Security Guide, but also the old (from VI 3.x) Managing VMware VirtualCenter Roles and Permissions is still a good reference. See also: Objective 1.4 – Secure vCenter Server and ESXi e Objective 1.4 –Secure vCenter Server and ESXi. Identify common vCenter Server privileges and roles (similar as vSphere 4.x) See: vSphere Security Guide (page 59). Some are available both in ESXi and vCenter Server: No Access: Cannot view or change the assigned object. vSphere Client tabs associated with an object appear without […]
