Reading Time: 2 minutes

After some month from the previous release (see the announce of the v3.0), NAKIVO Inc. has announced (on 15 July 2013) the new release NAKIVO Backup & Replication v3.2 that introduce some new features and several optiminization to the existing core features of v3.0.

The product remain still based on a web 2.0 (here some screenshoots) almost clear and usable also from small device. But it’s not (yet) integrable with the VMware vSphere Web Client (a web based interface does not directly mean that could be integrated with the vSphere Web Client, that it’s based on Flash).

Recenltly I’ve got some issue with Storage vMotion due to the “lock” function used by some backup programs. I’ve write about it related with Symantec Backup Exec, but this time was with VMware Data Protector (VDP).

Usually, backup programs disable Storage vMotion during the backup process to avoid datastore changes (and issue during the copy, considering that starting from vSphere 5.0 it’s possible use Storage vMotion also on VM with snapshots). But if the backup process fail, some backup programs does not clear this information correctly.

The “IT divide” problem

Reading Time: 7 minutes

This was a guest post on vDestination.

Usually (especially in Country like mine) we common talk about the Digital divide that bring not equity, or at least not same opportunity, between different group. But this is mainly focused on the connectivity aspects and how accessing to broadband networks could be different and limited for somebody.

Symantec Backup Exec 2012 with vSphere 5.1

Reading Time: 4 minutes

The current version of Symantec Backup Exec is still not supported with VMware vSphere 5.1, according with the Software Compatibility List (SCL). The full support will be available with the 2012 R2 release and/or with the 2012 SP2 (seems confirmed according with this post, but no official date has been announced yet).

The missing support does not mean that does not work, but it’s quite boring because you have a lot of minor issues, some not easy to understand.

ESXi Installable vs. ESXi Embedded

Reading Time: 2 minutes

ESXi is the unified version of the VMware hypervisor, but it could be installed on a host in different way:

  • Embedded: is a OEM version usually shipped with the host
  • Installable: is the one available from the VMware download site
  • PXE: is used in the AutoDeploy environment

If could be obvios know if you have a PXE type, how is possible find if you have an Installable or Embedded version? The destination media is not enough because you can install ESXi also over the vendor’s SD card used for the embedded versions.

Issue during the installation of VUM plugin client

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Actually VMware Update Manager works only with the “old” vSphere Client (the web edition is not yet available), and you need to install also the plugin client part on the vSphere Client.

But today I’ve got a strange issue during the installation, and was not possible complete the installation, remove it or simple fix it. The error message was:

Error applying transforms. verify that the specified transform paths are valid
