Reading Time: 2 minutes VMware vSphere 8.0.3 introduces several new features and also a new snapshot management. One of the issues of VM snapshots is that people forget to delete them: according to VMware snapshot management recommended practices you shoul NOT keep snapshots for more than 3 days (I suggest to don’t keep them for more than one day, because usually you have backups as other possible restore points).
Reading Time: 2 minutes VMware Explore 2024 Las Vegas has just finished, but what’s news? Let’s start from some obvius things… first more Broadcom (and less VMware maybe) as you can see from the titles of the different press relases. And seems less attendees (5000 was an un-official number, that seems very low compared to other edition of this event when was still called VMworld).
Reading Time: < 1 minute Before the decision of Broadcom to sell the VMware’s EUC Division, the compatibility between (VMware) Horizon and VMware vSphere was simply included in the Product Interoperability Matrix. But now, of course this VMware site is no more updated because does not include recent versions of both products:
Reading Time: 2 minutes VMware vSphere ships with many metrics and properties. If we take object by object, and document metrics by metrics, it will be both dry and theoretical. You will be disappointed as it does not explain how your real world problems are solved. You’re not in the business of collecting metric. Iwan ‘e1’ Rahabok made an impressive book on VMware vSphere Metrics and now is at its 4th edition!
Reading Time: 2 minutes Like every hardware and software components, before apply a VMware vSphere upgrade or update you have to check all compatibility aspects. One is related to the backup software that can be critical because you may loose the capability to perform backup and/or restore. Of course this apply also to “minor” update, like vSphere 8.0U3. For Veeam Backup & Replication there is a specific Veeam KB (KB 2443) that provides information about compatibility between VMware vSphere and Veeam Backup & Replication. And finally, some weeks after ESXi 8.0.3 become GA, there is an official support for vSphere […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes VMware ESXi partitions layout includes some old FAT partitions used for the two bootbanks. A strange choice that can bring, in some cases, the corruption of those partitions and you may notice during an upgrade. With vSphere 8.0 the suggested update procedure is using the images instead of the (old) baselines.
Reading Time: 3 minutes The vCenter Server Security Token Service (STS) is a Web service that issues, validates, and renews security tokens. As a token issuer, the Security Token Service (STS) uses a private key to sign the tokens and publishes the public certificates for services to verify the token signature. vCenter Server manages the STS signing certificates and stores them in the VMware Directory Service (vmdir). Tokens can have a significant lifetime, and historically might have been signed by any one of multiple keys.
