Reading Time: 2 minutesUsing the legacy vSphere Client is no more possible in vSphere 6.5, but with the previous version is still an option. Unfortunately, it lacks not only in all the new features but also in consistency and error reporting.
A curios issue was with a vSphere 6.0 environment where a generic warning message appears on the Summary tab of the ESXi hosts. The error was a generic “Consiguration Issues” message.

When Nicira product has been released was for Linux and physical platform, but after the VMware’s acquisition has been re-engineered to be integrated in the vSphere platform, with the new name of VMware NSX (now NSX-v).

Reading Time: 4 minutesThe new Dell-EMC PowerEdge G14 Server series it’s finally out and it’s not only the first line with the new logo (and a new bezel), but has really a lot of new features and capabilities. I’ve already talk about the PAT option, now let’s see another one, now valuable also for virtual infrastructure.
The Dell Boot Optimized Storage Solution (BOSS) is a new option for the installation of the hypervisor part, in a virtualization hosts, or more important in a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) host!
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe new Dell-EMC PowerEdge Server generation it’s out (I’ve see a preview at last Dell-EMC World event): the PowerEdge G14 series is not only the first line with the new logo (and a new bezel), but has really a lot of new features and capabilities.
One of this the Dell Processor Acceleration Technology (PAT) Pro option: on a R740 the street price is more than 1500€!
Reading Time: 2 minutesA partire da VMware vSphere 6.0, la nuova componente del vCenter chiamata PSC (Platform Service Controller) comprende oltre alla parte di SSO (introdotta per la prima volta in vSphere 5.1) anche alcune funzionalità, tra le quali una vera e propria CA (Certification Authority) per la gestione automatica dei gestificati, che da self-signed, passano ad essere gestiti tramite la CA della PSC (purtroppo questo non vale per tutti i prodotti VMware, o almeno non ancora).
Questo semplifica di molto la gestione dei certificati, con funzonalità quali l’aggiornamento automatico, la sostituzione di quelli self-signed tramite auto-enrollment, il tutto nell’ottica di rendere più sicure le comunicazioni tra i vari elementi di vSphere.
Reading Time: 3 minutesRVtools is a great tools to inventory a virtual infrastructure based on VMware vSphere, with or without vCenter Server (works great also on standalone ESXi hosts).
RVTools supports ESX Server 3.5, VirtualCenter 2.5, ESX Server 3i, ESX Server 4i, VirtualCenter 4.x, ESX 4.x, VirtualCenter 5.0, VirtualCenter Appliance, ESX 5.0, VirtualCenter 5.5, ESX 5.5, VirtualCenter 6.0, ESX 6.0, VirtualCenter 6.5 and ESX 6.5, so all you can have (also legacy versions) in a datacenter. And it’s totally free.
Sono calate le luci dell’edizione americana del VMworld 2017 ed è finalmente possibile trarne alcune conclusioni finali. Ci sono state novità rilevanti rispetto all’anno scorso? Ovviamente le novità ci sono ma vediamo di capire quanto siano o meno importanti.
Anche questa volta Michael Dell era presente, durante la prima keynote del secondo giorno), fianco a fianco a Pat Gelsinger a dimostrazione che Dell Technologies è lì… una figura forse più ingombrante di quanto fosse EMC (quando era proprietaria di VMware), ma anche a rassicurare che VMware ha ancora la sua autonomia.
