Reading Time: 3 minutesIn the last Veeam Community Forums Digest newsletter there is an interesting note about possible performance issues in VMware vSphere backup based on hot-add transport mode. VMware has confirmed that the increased Hot Add times experienced by some Veeam customers who have installed Veeam Backup & Replication Update 3a and the reason is the latest Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) 6.5 version used in U3a to support also vSphere 6.5 Update 2.
Reading Time: 3 minutesFinally, the v2.2 of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is available also from the client update. Release on July 3, 2018 (see the release notes), the new agent versions (not only the v2.2 for Windows, but also the 2.0.1 for Linux) have been available from the Veeam Backup or other limited sources, but now are available to all. Not much news or improvements, mainly the official support for Windows 10 v1803 and some minor bug fixes.
Reading Time: 4 minutesUno dei modi più utilizzati per gestire il backup della VMware vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) era quello di usare una qualunque soluzione di backup a livello di VM. Soluzione semplice, ma non sempre efficace, visto che in caso di corruzione del filesystem o del database embedded, i risultati di un restore a livello di VM potrebbero essere disastrosi, lasciando una VCSA non funzionante. A partire da vSphere 6.5, la VCSA 6.5 ha aggiunto la possibilità di gestire un backup nativo, tramite l’interfaccia di gestione vCenter Server Appliance Management Interface (VAMI). Ma era comunque un’operazione manuale […]
Reading Time: 7 minutesNote that this post becomes obsolete with the vSphere 6.7 Update 1 release where the client it’s finally complete. Some months ago I’ve written a post (Is the HTML5-based vSphere Client ready to replace the vSphere Web Client?) on the limitation of the new vSphere Client, but this was before the vSphere 6.7 and vSphere 6.5U2 releases. VMware vSphere, during its history and the different versions, has got several types of Graphical User Interface (GUI) client. One of the most used (not the first, but the standard one since Virtual Infrastructure 3.0) was the vSphere […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesVM Explorer is another backup (and replication) tool with native support for virtualized platforms (vSphere and Hyper-V) with a good success in the SMB segment. Initially was build by a Swiss company (Trilead), acquired later by HP(E) and recently acquired by Microfocus. Lot of changes in the name, but not in the substance and with a good development and release cycles. Now Microfocus has released a new VM Explorer release (v7.1) compatible with the latest version of VMware vSphere 6.7.
Reading Time: 3 minutesAs written in previous posts, Virtual Instruments provides a full stack monitoring for physical, virtual, and cloud computing environments. And this kind of analysis can help to better understood your workloads and the complexity to move them to a public cloud. The “Cloud”, through cloud migration, promises IT organizations unprecedented value in the form of cost savings, faster innovation, superior scalability and most importantly – business agility. For many organizations, it is at the core of their IT digital transformation strategy. It is a disruptive force that requires application workload behavior knowledge, careful cloud migration planning […]
