Reading Time: 6 minutesCi si avvicina sempre più alla “fine” di VMware vSphere 5.5, forse una delle versioni più riuscite di VMware e probabilmente la più installata (anche se VMware non fornisce questo tipo di informazioni). La fine del End of General Support di vSphere 5.5 è stata fissata a Settembre 19, 2018. Per avere pieno supporto da parte di VMware, è assolutamente raccomandato aggiornare a vSphere 6.5, o vSphere 6.7.
Reading Time: 4 minutesDell EMC ha probabilmente un portafoglio di storage probabilmente troppo ricco e con alcune sovrapposizioni, a causa dell’acquisizione EMC, ed ero abbastanza sicuro che la serie di storage Dell PowerVault MD era destinata all’obsolescenza precoce per essere sostituita dalla serie Compellent, come del resto sta accadendo alla serie EqualLogic. Ma evidentemente mi sbagliavo. Dell EMC ha da poco annunciato una nuova linea PowerVault: Dell EMC PowerVault ME4. Come la precedente serie PowerVault MD, anche il nuovo PowerVault ME4 (nome molto strano) è destinato al mercato specifico delle PMI.
Reading Time: 3 minutesJust a few weeks ago, VMware has released NSX Data Center for vSphere v6.4.2 and now it’s the turn of a new version: NSX Data Center for vSphere v6.4.3. NSX Data Center for vSphere 6.4.3 addresses a number of specific customer bugs. See Resolved Issues for more information. The release notes describe other aspects, but there aren’t new features or specific improvement in this new release.
Reading Time: 4 minutesHistorically speaking, the VMware management tools were mostly based on Microsoft Windows systems. The biggest example was the vCenter Server that has start as a Windows installable software. Other products like Horizon View, vRealized Automation, Chargeback Manager, SRM, … were also based on Windows with some installable components. But rely on a general purpose OS makes more complicated the management (for example for patching) and makes longer the deployment time. A virtual appliance could bring more benefit in a virtual environment (see Virtual Appliance: angels o demons?) and simplify both the management and the deployment. […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware Horizon version 7.4 was released at the begin of this year, and now VMware has just released the new version of VMware Horizon: version 7.6 has several improvements as documented in the release notes. So a really active year for EUC and VDI. VMware has also released VMware User Environment Manager 9.5 and VMware AppVolumes 2.14.2.
Reading Time: 3 minutesTre anni fa, VMware ha annunciato l’intenzione di gestire le VMware Tools in modalità standalone, ossia con un rilascio indipendente da quello dei prodotti di virtualizzazione e con un proprio ciclo di vita e sistema di versioning. Quindi indipendente da VMware Fusion, Workstation ed ESXi e dalle loro versioni! Sembra bello, ma sicuramente siamo ancora in una fase confusionale, visto che esistono sia le VMware Tools standalone, sia quelle incluse nei prodotti di virtualizzazione.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThere are a lot of different possible reasons why a VM does not power on a VMware vSphere infrastructure, but usually, the error message can really help to found the reason or the root cause. Maybe not available resources, maybe some files that are missing, maybe some incompatibility… But normally you can put the error message and found the proper VMware KB that can help you.
