12 Aprile 2019
Comments off

Reading Time: 6 minutesLa nuova versione VMware vSphere 6.7 Update 2 è stata annunciata alcune settimane fa, ma non era ancora disponibile, come purtroppo è accaduto con le le versioni precedenti… nonostante questo vi sono stati diversi post a decantarne tutte le funzionalità (nonostante non fosse possible provarle o verificarle)… Ma ora finalmente VMware vSphere 6.7 Update 2 è disponibile in general available (GA) e soprattutto è possibile scaricarlo e provarlo!

Reading Time: 3 minutesVMware vSphere Update Manager (VUM) enables centralized, automated patch and version management for VMware vSphere and offers support for VMware ESXi hosts, virtual machines, and virtual appliances. For ESXi hosts it can manage both the update and the upgrade workflows, but can also be powerful for adding custom VIB package, like for example new drivers. Usually it takes the updated files from the VMware repository, but you can also add custom repositories (or depots).

Reading Time: < 1 minuteI had a lot of trouble with one particular “special” VMDK on a ESXi 6.5 system, which did not start after a reboot of the ESXi host. The VM power-on procedure failed with this message: “File system specific implementation of LookupAndOpen[…] failed”. However in the end it just gave me the overall error that it failed to start the machine.

Veeam Backup Community Edition

26 Marzo 2019
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutesUna grande novità di Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4 è che Veeam Backup Free Edition (anche noto come VeeamZip) non è più presente. Che cosa significa? Niente più “versione” gratuita per eseguire il backup delle macchine virtuali per piccoli ambienti? Magari usando gli script PowerShell (come descritto in questo post). In realtà significa solo che vi è un nuovo (e migliore) prodotto per il backup gratuito delle VM (ma solo per piccoli ambienti).

Reading Time: 6 minutesI’ve already wrote about the different reasons on Why upgrade to VMware vSphere 6.7 (or why not), but I’ve not yet provide tips and hints on how perform the upgrade process. If you are lucky enough to have a full VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) stack, then you don’t have much problem… the VCF Lifecycle Manager that can make your life easier (see also Simplify VMware’s products update/upgrade). Otherwise you need to plan this activity carefully and perform different tasks, some manual, some automatic.
