Reading Time: 4 minutesIf you have tried to apply the VMware vSphere 6.7 Update 3 patch on a DellEMC PowerEdge server, you may have some kind of performance issues. The vCenter become very slow and some basic operations, including vMotion are very very slow (also more than 100 times!).
Reading Time: 14 minutesUniversal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry-standard that establishes specifications for cables and connectors and protocols for connection, communication, also and power supply between computers, peripheral devices and other computers. How USB is supported in VMware vSphere? In a recent article for the StarWind blog, I’m going to take a closer look at USB standard and how use it in a VMware vSphere environment.

Reading Time: 2 minutesVMware vSphere leverages a vast vSphere driver ecosystem to run various I/O stacks like networking and storage on server platforms. This ecosystem is built out with technologies from many I/O partners. To better address the need to build software-defined infrastructure (SDI) based on vSphere, VMware introduced the vSphere kernel native AP The Native Device Driver architecture is not something new. Since its introduction more than five years ago, VMware encourages their hardware ecosystem partners to work on developing native drivers. VMware plans to deprecate the vmkLinux APIs and associated driver ecosystem with the next numbered release (not an update release) of VMware vSphere. The […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesLast week, VMware has announced the future release of VMware vSphere 6.7 Update 3, that means, of course, also the new vSAN 6.7 Update 3 (vSAN is totally integrated in vSphere code). Unfortunately, has happened in past, this is just a product announce, without provide the code of it and the date of General Availability (GA) release date (but I guess will be on VMworld US 2019). I usually prefer talk about what exist now and see the release notes. The products are now GA and, most important the hardware compatibility and the software interoperability matrix have […]
Reading Time: 6 minutesI’ve already wrote about the different reasons on Why upgrade to VMware vSphere 6.7 (or why not), but I’ve not yet provide tips and hints on how perform the upgrade process. If you are lucky enough to have a full VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) stack, then you don’t have much problem… the VCF Lifecycle Manager that can make your life easier (see also Simplify VMware’s products update/upgrade). Otherwise you need to plan this activity carefully and perform different tasks, some manual, some automatic.
Reading Time: 11 minutesThe last week I’ve realized a new article for the StarWind blog focused on the different types of storage controllers in VMware vSphere (see Storage Controllers in VMware vSphere). To access block-based devices (like virtual disks, CD/DVD-ROM), but also generic SCSI devices, a virtual machine uses storage controllers, which at least one is added by default when you create the virtual machine and the type of it depends by the type of guest OS that you have chosen. You can make several change changes while you are in the creation wizard.
