Reading Time: 3 minutesIf you are using the legacy VMware vSphere Client on Windows 10 you may have some issues with the VM console that display only a part of the screen and leave blank other parts. You can use other clients (like the Web Client if you have vCenter or the Host UI if you have at least ESXi 6.0U2), but maybe you will have other issues (for example on ESXi 6.0 host UI console mouse may not work well or not at all).

Reading Time: 3 minutesIn VMware vSphere uno dei limiti storici è stato (per tanti anni) quello della dimensione di un singolo disco virtuale VMDK che non poteva eccedere i 2 TB circa (per la precisione i 2 TB – 512 B). In realtà la vera dimensione “usabile” era persino meno, per poter permettere la creazione di snapshot e dipendeva dalla dimensione del blocco (importante in VMFS3 o in VMFS5 se aggiornato dalla 3). Per maggiori informazioni si rimanda all’articolo Veeam KB 1091. A partire da vSphere 5.5 è stato finalmente possibile avere dischi virtuali grandi fino a 62 […]

Reading Time: 7 minutesNow that the new VMware vSphere 6.5 is in GA, most people are starting considering to upgrade (or start from scratch) with this version, instead of vSphere 6.0 (or also 5.5). But please consider this product like a major release, there are several changes, but also new features and scalability properties that make interesting for each new environment, but also for existing customers (with an active subscription if you have a 5.5 version, so that you can also upgrade your 5.x license keys). But like each new version you have to make some consideration first […]
