Reading Time: < 1 minuteCome noto il programma vExpert, negli ultimi anni si è specializzato in alcune tecnologie verticali. Dopo il VMware vExpert vSAN 2017 e il VMware vExpert NSX 2017, quest’anno è nata una nuova categoria: VMware vExpert Cloud. Esattamente come tutte le altre categorie precedenti: these vExperts has demonstrated significant contributions to the community and a willingness to share their expertise with others. Contributing is not always blogging or Twitter as there are many public speakers, book authors, scriptwriters, VMUG leaders, VMTN community moderators and internal champions among this group.

Reading Time: 3 minutesSeems that there are still some issues with vSphere 6.5, with a possible PSOD (Purple Screen Of the Death) after upgrade to 6.5U1 on ESXi hosts using 10 Gbps NICs. The VMware KB 2151749 describe this issue and explains that this occurs because Netqueue commit phase abruptly stop due to the failure of hardware activation of a Rx queue. As a result, Internal data-structure of the Netqueue layer’s could go out of sync with the device and cause PSOD.

Reading Time: 3 minutesA causa dell’ultimo aggiornamento di Adobe Flash con versione 27.0.0.170 (purtroppo l’aggiornamento è già stato incluso anche in Microsoft Updatem quindi disattivare l’aggiornamento automatico di Flash potrebbe non bastare), il vSphere Web Client (per intenderci il client basato su Flash) non è più utilizzabile, su nessun browser. Considerando che al momento è l’unico client grafico in grado di gestire in modo completo vSphere 6.5 (il client HTML5 ha ancora troppi limiti) è una grande seccatura. Se usate Chrome o Firefox vi accorgerete facilmente che il plugin di Flash non viene caricato, con Internet Explorer il browser si chiude […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesAfter replacing the SAS card on some ESXi 6.5 nodes, I’ve got a strange issue in the vSAN cluster. The vSAN was healthy and apparently working, but when I try to build new VMs wasn’t working at all, saying that there weren’t enough resources. But there was a lot of free reported space. The reason was that single node, the capacity disks where simply “not Healthy”, but reported as mounted.

Reading Time: 3 minutesIf you are going to using vSphere Replication you will notice, after the deployment of the two virtual appliances a continuous (also each minute) logging of installation activities on all the ESXi hosts in the protected cluster. This is quite annoying but also is going to fill up your log both in the ESXi hosts and in the vCenter database (are all tasks visible in the the vCenter console).

Reading Time: 2 minutesOne of the big advantages of the virtual appliance version of VMware vCenter (vCSA) is the ability to update both the OS components and the VMware parts with a simple menu. Just use the administrative UI available at https://vCSA_IP:5480 and login with user root and the password that you have chosen during the deployment.

Reading Time: 3 minutesVMware vSAN 6.6 works only in unicast mode, if you have upgrade all the disks to the last v5 format. But recently I’ve got a new cluster, build totally from scratch with latest version, that has switched to multicast mode, with the result of all hosts partitioned at network level.
