Reading Time: 3 minutesAfter the Heartbleed bug storm, now there are new possible (serious) problems with a new bug in the Linux and OpenSource world: the Shellshock bug affect lot of Linux systems, in particular the bash (the standard shell on most Linux and also some Unix system). On Sept 24, 2014, a critical vulnerability in Bash (CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-7169) was published that may allow for remote code execution. Use this exploit is quite simple (on affected system), that make this bug really critical. Major distribution have already realized a new bash version with the required path, but old […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesStarting from vSphere 5.0, the vCenter Server Virtual Appliance (vCSA) is a new deployment options with some pros and cons. Some of the cons may limit it in the large environments, but starting with the version 5.5 the embedded database has more interesting limits to make it suitable for most of the SMB cases. Honestly I like the idea to have a vCenter Server as a single black box: it make simple to manage and backup it. But also to update (update vCSA is really faster compared to update a tradition vCenter Server). Anyway there […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesSeems that VMware is cleaning its products portfolio. After the End of Availability of VSA, now VMware is announcing the End of Availability (EoA) of all VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat versions effective June 2, 2014. As a result, all versions of vCenter Server Heartbeat will be removed from the VMware price list on June 2, 2014. After this date, you will no longer be able to purchase these products. All support and maintenance for the removed versions will be unaffected and will continue on per VMware Life Cycle policy through the published support period until […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesVMware Single Sign On is a new VMware vCenter Server components, introduced for the first time in vSphere 5.1, that manage the authentication across different VMware components both for services and users. It is not just an authentication broker but also a security token exchange providing a more secure way of accessing your vSphere solutions. For more information see also: vCenter Single Sign-On Part 1: what is vCenter Single Sign-On? This also mean that if you forget the SSO admin password you may have some trouble in your environment.
Reading Time: 2 minutesFormally a VMware vSphere Essential Plus (or Essential) suite can only be managed by a vCenter Server Essential (which is in fact a vCenter Foundation limited to only handle Essential or Essential Plus hosts). The reason is simple: the Essential bundles were born and developed for SMEs as finished packages and not as a way to extend their infrastructure (especially since formally every company could only buy one of these bundles). But until the vSphere 4.x releases was still possible to manage one or more Essential / Essential Plus clusters with a single vCenter Server […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesIn a previous post I’ve described the limits of the (legacy) vSphere Client, especially in the 5.5 version. But also the (new) vSphere Web Client has some limits, also in the 5.5 version. First to all is VMware vSphere Web Client really a multi-platform solution? It could be, but the Flash framework (and the VM console plugin) imply some possible portability issues. Starting with 5.5 version (see 5.5a or 5.5b release notes) Linux is no more supported: Because Linux platforms are no longer supported by Adobe Flash, vSphere Web Client is not supported on the […]
