Configuring Profiles in VMware VirtualCenter

En este documento veremos cómo podemos configurar VirtualCenter para poder acceder con diferentes cuentas de usuario y cada cuenta de usuario tenga diferentes tipos de permisos. Es ideal para no tener que dar por supuesto la cuenta de Administrador a nadie, por si tenemos algún becario encargado de encender máquinas virtuales, que sólo pueda hacer eso, si tenemos un departamento encargado de revisar LOG’s o crear MV’s que sólo puedan hacer eso y nada más.

Connecting an iSCSI-enabled Openfiler NAS to VMware ESX

In this document, we'll look at how to connect an ESX server to a shared storage system, for this we will use an Openfiler NAS, using iSCSI. To configure this document, it is assumed that we already have an Openfiler server installed and with a volume created of the iSCSI type to be able to use HA or DRS with VMotion. And of course a virtual network connection that allows VMotion.

Setting up an MSA – HP StorageWorks Modular SAN Array 1000 with ESX

In this document we will explain how we will connect this SAN to ESX servers, the logical thing is that we have an MSA with two controllers (otherwise, It doesn't make much sense to invest so much, if we don't have redundancy in controllers), as well as two fiber switches on the back to have redundancy at the switch level as well. And on each ESX server we will place a couple of fiber optic HBA's, to which we will connect each HBA to a fiber switch to have a high availability system.
