Reading Time: 2 minutesThe new Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 3a patch may introduce some warnings backing up Microsoft SQL Server VMs after installing the update.
It does not happen in all cases, and seems more limited for SQL Express instances.
But Veeam has described the issues in KB2689 (https://www.veeam.com/kb2689) with also the required fix!
Reading Time: 3 minutesIn the last months there were several post about the vRealize Log Insight for vCenter Server edition… a “free” version of vRealize Log Insight included with vCenter Server license (so not really free, but included in your license cost).
This was true since vRealize Log Insight 3.3.2 and above will accept the vCenter Server 5.x or 6.x license key you already have. Refer to the VMware Product Interoperability Matrices for confirmation of which versions are compatible.
To be honest there were only 25 OSI included (vRealize Log Insight counts the sources of the log), but quite enough for a small-medium environment, if you consider only the ESXi and vCenter Server… If you try to use for a large environment or for monitoring also other log sources or for NSX components, this number is quite limiting.
Reading Time: 3 minutesArrcus emerges from stealth and has launched and released its first product: ArcOS, an independent, open, Linux-based, hardware agnostic network operating system.
ArcOS is a high-quality alternative to vertically integrated OEMs, to meet and exceed the modern smart network infrastructure requirements.
ArcOS is a fully programmable, microservices-based network operating system built from first principles. Based on Debian Linux, it is an open system that can be easily integrated with other Linux distributions as well.
Reading Time: 3 minutesTintri has laid off 80 per cent of its staff, including its top sales bod, leaving just 40 to 50 staff behind, however it still expects to run out of cash on June 30. And there are a lot of rumors with impending news of bankruptcy.
That’s not good at, considering the history of the company and the quality of their products.
Reading Time: 4 minutesManaging the lifecycle of a complete software stack it’s something potentially complex because to the interdependence between the different layers, the order of the update or upgrade and the multiple software piecies (but also potentially some firmware/driver updates).
For VMware vSphere there is VUM that can simplify ESXi lifecycle, but for example cannot manage the vCenter/PSC upgrade/update process.
For VMware vSAN, VUM has been improved to consider the proper flow of the update process.
Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware Horizon Client communicates with the View server, which acts as a broker between the client device and remote desktops and published applications.
You enter credentials into Horizon Client, the server authenticates your credentials, and then the server finds the remote desktops and published applications that you are entitled to use.
Also if you can use VMware Blast to access your virtual desktop or published applications, a client is usually preferrable to have full features.
Reading Time: 4 minutesThe historycal technical certification from Nutanix was the Nutanix Platform Professional (NPP) certification: a free online exam to all Nutanix customers and partners wwhere training is recommended, but not required before attempting the exam.
The exam was quite easy (due also the fact that it’s an online and not proctored exam), so the value of this type of certification was not so high.
But was a requirement for Nutanix partners and and plus for a customer because it confirms your (minimal) ability to install, configure, and manage the Nutanix environment.
