Comparing two different product is not so easy, also if they are released closed one each other (at least in the same year). You need to found some homogenous aspects to make the comparison, at least at the technical level (but as written, it’s not so […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesLa nuova versione VMware vSphere 6.7U1 ha diverse migliore e nuove funzionalità già descritte nei post precedenti. Però c’è una funzionalità che in realtà è passata abbastanza inosservata. In realtà non è tanto una funzionalità ma una particolare compatibilità:finalmente VMware vSphere 6.7U1 supporta Active Directory 2016.

Reading Time: 2 minutesA quanto pare la nuova versione VMware vSphere 6.7 Update 1 ha qualche problema di compatibilità con Veeam Backup & Replication rendendo i backup job non più funzionanti! Come riportato nella Veeam KB 2443, VMware 6.7 Update 1 al momento NON è supportato da Veeam B&R, lo sarà con l’uscita di Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4 (anche se non c’è alcuna data di rilascio certa). Maggiori informazioni sul problema sono disponibili nella Veeam KB 2784 e in un forum thread.
