Upgrade Veeam Backup & Replication from 6.x to 7.0

29 January 2014
Comments off

Reading Time: 5 minutesThe upgrade path from Veeam Backup & Replication 6.x to the new version 7 is almost simple and fast: basically you have to upgrade first the Backup Enterprise Manager and then the Backup & Replication part, and finally apply the patch to bring it at the Backup & Replication 7.0 R2 release. The entire upgrade procedure is almost fast and usually can take around 30 min for a simple install with only one single system. Of course before doing the upgrade you need to verify the license file (you need a new one for version […]

VMware vCenter Server – Installable vs. Appliance

28 January 2014

Reading Time: 5 minutesAs written in a previous post, with the introduction of vSphere 5.0 in addition to the installable version of vCenter Server (which still requires a Windows operating system), there is also a Virtual Appliance version (called VMware vCenter Server Virtual Appliance). VMware vCenter Server Virtual Appliance (vCSA) is a VMware’s official VA that can be used as an alternative way to implement a full vCenter Server, instead to install on a Windows Server (that must be deployed first). Unlike the installable version, it does not require a Windows Server license and instance, but is rather […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteVMware has recently released a new new exam to qualify candidates for the VMware Certified Professional 5 – Data Center Virtualization (VCP5-DCV) Certification.

VMware vSphere 5.5 upgrade path – vCenter

23 January 2014
2 comments

Reading Time: 5 minutesThe VMware vCenter upgrade has some possible issue, considering also that the SSO part is changed from the one implemented in vSphere 5.1. VMware has released the vSphere 5.5b (specifically for the vCenter Server application, both installable and vCSA editions) just before the Christmas holiday. Mostly another bunch of fixes around vCenter Single Sign-On functionality and upgrade errors, so be sure to use this one for the upgrade to reduce the possible issues. Note that most of the issues are related to the vCenter components:

Reading Time: 4 minutesThe procedure for upgrade to VMware vSphere 5.1 is quite similar to the upgrade path to vSphere 5.1 (and almost similar also to the upgrade path to vSphere 5.0) and is well described in the specific guide (vSphere Upgrade Guide). And first to all, you have to analyze the pro and the cons of a product upgrade, for more information see also: VMware vSphere 5.5 – Upgrade or not upgrade? You have also to consider (particularly for small enviroment) if apply an upgrade or rebuild. Anyway, some points are quite common for each major vSphere […]
