Reading Time: 2 minutesTo close the series of post on the vSphere upgrade path to version 5 I will make a few final considerations: As written several time, check the hardware and software HCL before start the migration. The HCL may change from the beta release (where, for example, there was’t any SQL Express 2005 support) but also from one week to another (for example, some weeks the Dell PoverVault MD3x00/MD3x00i were not yet included). Actually most additional software are already compliant with vSphere, or with new version (like View 5) or with simple patch. Remember that vSphere […]

Reading Time: 4 minutesIn a vSphere 5 upgrade path, the vSphere part of the upgrade process is the simples part and the order is the same of previous upgrade: first the vCenter Server (that can handle new and old hosts), then VUM (if you want to use it to upgrade the hosts), then the hosts, then the VMware Tools of the VMs and finally, if needed the VMFS5 of the datastores and the virtual hardware of the VMs. vCenter Server The upgrade of the vCenter Server is really simple and if you start from a version 4.1 you […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe upgrade path to vSphere 5 is well described in the specific guide (vSphere Upgrade Guide) and in the vSphere Upgrade Best Practices white paper.. In some cases an in-place upgrade can be applied with the advantage to require less time and to keep all (or most) of the settings and configurations. For example, a vCenter Server 4.1 can be updated to the 5.0 version (the requirements of the two versions are quite the same) or an old ESXi can be updated to ESXi 5. But in most cases, also when the in-place upgrade is […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAfter the View and vSphere clients for Apple iOS, let’s see some clients for the Android devices: vmwClient: for managment of VMWare infrastructure from Android devices. iVMControl: same of the iOS version see in the previous post. VMware View for Android: this is the official View client from VMware, with full PCoIP, Security Server, Android 3 (Honeycomb) support… See also this review and the demo. Wyse PocketCloud: View client (but not only), does not support the PCoIP protocol.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteFor the View client for iPad there is any other alternative application (at least with PCoIP support), but for the vSphere client for iPad there are some other applications that can work as well of the official VMware application… With the advantage to do not require any silly virtual appliance to act as a “mobiel proxy” and also to be able to work on iPhone and not only on iPad (IMHO I think that also the vSphere Client for iPad could be adapted to the iPhone screen). From the possible iOS applications there are: iVMControl: […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe vSphere Client for iPad is an application created by VMware to give a minimum vSphere management ability also from a tablet (at least for some operational management tasks). The first official release was on March 2011. But this application require a special architecture on infrastructure side, ad well described in one Jason Boche post: there must be a special “proxy” server that convert the output of vCenter Server in a simple way useful to be managed from mobile device. This “proxy” is available from VMware as a virtual appliance and can be downloaded from […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesSource: VMware vSphere 4.1 Update 2 Released The VMware vCenter Server 4.1 Update 2 release offers the following improvements: Support for new processors: vCenter Server 4.1 Update 2 supports hosts with processors on AMD Opteron 6200 series (Interlagos) and AMD Opteron 4200 series (Valencia). Note: For the AMD Opteron 6200 and 4200 series (Family 15h) processors, vCenter Server 4.1 Update 2 treats each core within a compute unit as an independent core, except while applying licenses. For the purpose of licensing, vCenter Server treats each compute unit as a core. For example, although a processor […]
