Is the HTML5-based vSphere Client finally mature?

11 Agosto 2018
No comments

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 […]

9 Agosto 2018
Comments off

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.

Slow speed in network transport mode backup

7 Agosto 2018
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutesVMware vSphere provides a different way to copy the VM data during a backup operation: those modes are called transport modes. There are at least three major transport mode: network mode (or NBD), hot-add mode (or VM proxy mode), SAN mode (of storage offload mode). Most of the backup products can use those different transport modes depending on the configured infrastructure and the requirements.

Ottimizzare Veeam Backup per datastore vSAN

6 Agosto 2018
Comments off

Reading Time: 4 minutesSe state usando Veeam Backup & Replication con un datastore VMware vSAN, probabilmente avrete dato un’occhiata alla Veeam KB 2273 (Configuration for VMware VSAN) per capire quale fosse la configurazione e la modalità ottimale. Ma la KB si limita a raccomandare la modalità di trasporto hot-add. Quindi avrete creato diversi proxy Veeam sotto forma di diverse VM nell’ambiente vSAN… magari persino 1 VM per ogni host (come qualcuno consiglia).

VMware’s Agents of Change

23 Luglio 2018
Comments off

Reading Time: 5 minutesDiciamo che il titolo suona molto da serie di telefilm americana, ma in realtà è una serie di articoli (Agents of Change) realizzati da VMware (EMEA) per fornire una panoramica su come i leader tecnologici in Europa, Medio Oriente e Africa (EMEA) sfidano lo status quo per scoprire nuove possibilità per le loro organizzazioni. Agents of Change è l’iniziativa di VMware che celebra i CIO più innovativi, che sfidano lo status quo. Sfruttando il potere trasformativo della tecnologia, stanno creando possibilità illimitate per le proprie aziende. L’ultimo, in particolare, è significativo visto che tratta un caso […]

End of the “free” version of vRealize Log Insight

17 Luglio 2018
Comments off

Reading Time: 3 minutesIn the last months there were several post about the vRealize Log Insight for vCenter Server edition… a “free” version of vRealize Log Insight included with vCenter Server license (so not really free, but included in your license cost). This was true since vRealize Log Insight 3.3.2 and above will accept the vCenter Server 5.x or 6.x license key you already have. Refer to the VMware Product Interoperability Matrices for confirmation of which versions are compatible. To be honest there were only 25 OSI included (vRealize Log Insight counts the sources of the log), but quite enough […]

Simplify VMware’s products update/upgrade

13 Luglio 2018
Comments off

Reading Time: 4 minutesManaging the lifecycle of a complete software stack it’s something potentially complex because to the interdependence between the different layers, the order of the update or upgrade and the multiple software piecies (but also potentially some firmware/driver updates). For VMware vSphere there is VUM that can simplify ESXi lifecycle, but for example cannot manage the vCenter/PSC upgrade/update process. For VMware vSAN, VUM has been improved to consider the proper flow of the update process.
