In this scenario, we will update a VMware vSphere environment 5.1 to the latest version manually, without Update Manager, we will first update our vCenter Server Appliance to the new version, then the ESXi hosts and finally the virtual machines. If we want to know what's new in vSphere 5.5, We have them here!
vCenter Multi-Hypervisor Manager is an add-on that installs on our vSphere infrastructure to centrally manage heterogeneous environments with Hyper-V and ESXi servers, being able to perform basic tasks on Hyper-V VMs with our vSphere client,
A tool that can help us simplify our connectivity to our virtual infrastructure is VMware WSX, This small web server, it will allow us to connect from any device with an HTML5-compatible browser to our virtual machines, either to manage it or to VDI desktops in the case of our end users.
This document will try to show the deployment of a tool that may be little used yet but with a very good potential and certainly a very useful tool to complete our vSphere infrastructure. This is vCenter Operations Manager which will allow us to configure it to see the life status of our virtualization services, as well as being able to locate trends of failure or decrease in available resources based on the growth detected.
One of the new features of vSphere 5.1 was the introduction of vSphere Data Protection (since vSphere Data Recovery is discontinued), a new virtual machine backup and recovery software for our vSphere virtual infrastructure 5.1. Like VMware Data Recovery uses VADP (vSphere API for Data Protection) with CBT (Changed Blocks Tracking), but it also uses EMC Avamar's variable block-level deduplication to optimize copies and restores. Provide deduplication together to all appliance tasks and VMs. It is fully integrated with the vSphere Web Client and will provide the possibility of file recovery to end users.
In this scenario we will update a vSphere environment 5.0 to the latest version manually, without Update Manager, we will first update our vCenter Server Appliance to the new version, then the ESXi hosts and finally the virtual machines.
This document will be useful in reducing the size of our VMware vCenter database, it will also be necessary when it reaches the limits if we have it in a SQL Express, since the services will not start and therefore we will have errors in the registry that will indicate it to us.
In this document we will review a utility from VMware Labs that will help us test our storage system, under a virtual appliance called VMware IO Analyzer. This simple appliance will show us performance graphs at the VM and host level, will use Iometer for this purpose & This is top,
vSphere 5 vSphere Storage Appliance (VSA), a solution designed for small businesses that do not have the budget to purchase a storage array and want to have high availability in terms of storage or have features such as HA or VMotion, DRS… Thanks to this small appliance that runs on each host and through the VSA Manager, we will have the local datastores replicated between the ESXi hosts.
Another of the new features brought by vSphere 5, It is the possibility of centrally storing the dumps or dumps of memory that our hosts suffer on a network server, VMware Introduces ESXi Dump Collector Tool, In this document we will see how we can simply configure it,
