Extending a shared virtual disk into multiple VMs

I leave you this post because a client has asked me to do it on several occasions and so I leave it for you 😉 too If we need to expand a virtual hard drive (Vhd) that is shared across multiple virtual machines, typically for cluster use, we will remember that we have the SCSI controller in Bus Sharing and that the disk is created in Eager Zeroed! We will follow these steps to expand this album.

Citrix Netscaler in HA

Very good, I leave you a Post by the great Oscar Mas, one of the great Citrix & Shoring, Enjoy: Today I'm going to show you how to set up a NetScaler system in High Availability (HAS), Performing the configuration by console. We start from the base of two NetScaler servers, which one of them is fully configured (netscaler1.ilba.cat). The first thing we will do is link the two NetScalers and then join them, so that in the event of a fall of one of the two, the other continues to work.

Citrix Provisioning Server in High Availability

In this document, we'll look at how to extend a Citrix Provisioning Server infrastructure for high availability, this critical service that distributes OS to desktops or servers, expanding capacities and therefore having greater performance! It is a very simple task that we will have to perform if we have this service in production to quickly deploy operating systems over the network through PXE!

Setting up a high-availability DHCP cluster on Windows 2012

One of the great new features that Windows brings 2012 Server is the possibility of having the DHCP service in high availability (Finally!), since it is one of the most critical services of organizations. We can create a load balancing between two DHCP servers or mark one server as active and another passive, the latter waiting for the fall of the asset to provide service.

Using Datastore Cluster on VMware vSphere 5

It is one of the new features of vSphere 5, It is a pool of datastores that will help us to manage the datastores together, always obtaining the best result to locate a virtual machine and thus have a higher performance at the disk level since it will always offer us recommendations to choose the lightest datastore. It will also analyze and generate recommendations for moving virtual machines between the different datastores in the cluster.

Installing SQL Server 2008 in Windows cluster 2008 R2

In this document, we'll look at installing a SQL Server cluster 2008 under two Windows Server nodes 2008 R2, we will install both nodes to obtain a SQL Server service in high availability. First of all, you have your Windows cluster 2008 R2 mounted and well configured, to which we will have several disks available for the databases, Logs, backup and MSTDC (We can rely on to create the cluster: HTTP://www.bujarra.com/?p=2290).
