Using Windows 8 as a View Client

23 January 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: 2 minutesActually Windows 8 is not (officially) supported with VMware View, at least not as a virtual desktop. About the View Client, starting with the 5.2 version it support also Windows 8 as a client (see the official guide). Both the 32 and 64 versions (are supported: Windows 8 Professional and Windows 8 Enterprise) works fine and requirements are just the same as a Windows 7 Client (1 GB of RAM and a x86-based processor with SSE2 extensions, with a 800MHz or higher processor speed). Also features are exactly the same of Windows 7 Client, including […]

VMware View 5.1 – Disable the certificate warning

21 January 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: < 1 minuteOne year ago, I’ve described how to disable the certificate warning in the Windows View Client 5.0, by using GPO or a direct change in the local registry (on the client). Now, with the new version 5.1 of the View Client there is a new way client side:

Recovering a lost partition table with a VMFS datastore

16 January 2013
Comments off

Reading Time: 5 minutesThere are different reason where you can you loose or corrupt your partition table of your VMFS volumes: resignature from another system (for example the backup server, if connected in SAN mode), a human mistake (datastore / delete), or maybe some storage issues. In this case usually the VMFS partition is still there and also the related data: you have “only” to rebuild the right partition table. But this could really simple if you follow the recommended practice to have only one VMFS partition on each disk. In this case you have only to build […]

Why does not exist (yet) a virtual EqualLogic

19 December 2012
Comments off

Reading Time: 2 minutesThere are several rumors about a virtual edition of EqualLogic, targeted especially for the SMB segment and/or the ROBO scenarios. Several storage vendors are proposing a virtual appliance version of some of their solutions (like HP with the virtual “LeftHand”) and actually Dell has nothing in this specific area. The virtual EqualLogic could be the most reasonable product, just because the Compellent series is target for the high end area and usually has a mapping tighten with the hardware (let’s consider how PCI-e slots must be populated). The PowerVault series is just a re-branded of […]

Migrating EqualLogic replicas

18 December 2012
Comments off

Reading Time: 2 minutesIn the previous post I’ve describe how migrate volumes across two (or more) EqualLogic in the same group, using different storage pools. In the same way is also possible migrate the data on the disaster recovery site: in this case data are the remote volume replicas that are stored in a single container called delegated space. Each destination of a (asynchronous) replication must have a proper delegated space (and only one!), and a delegated space can be stored on a single storage pool.

Migrating volumes with EqualLogic features

17 December 2012
Comments off

Reading Time: 4 minutesDuring an array migration usually you can use application level trick to move your data between the old and the new array. For example with VMware vSphere you can use the Storage vMotion features (now added also in lower edition of vSphere 5.1) or with Microsoft Hyper-V 3 you can use the new Storage Live Migration feature. But in some case you may have also an option at storage level. For example to migrate across two Dell EqualLogic array (also different models) you can use the embedded function.
