A must in any organization is to control and allow access to its servers, regardless of having segmentations with VLANs, or have control through physical firewalls, A good idea is to implement micro-segmentation, or in some cases to simplify, also enable control on the OS's own firewall.
As we know, Volumio is one of the best audio control systems (for the Home, office…) But for now it has a small limitation, which is only allowed to be installed in physical (Raspberry Pi, X32/X64 or on the ASUS Tinkerboard). But, and if we want to provide it with high availability, Fast backup/restore… Or wow, have the advantages of being one more VM in our environment…
Well, today it's time for another post about log collection, how to treat them and above all how to visualize them; in this document we will see how to perform the entire process with the VMware ESXi hypervisor logs, treat them with Elastic Stack and finally visualize in Grafana what interests us, such as error logs, Incorrect sign-ins…
¡Ole, ole and ole Rigodón! VMware through a fling presents a new version of the ESXi hypervisor, for ARM architectures, What a marvel! In this post we will see something that is not supported (For now), and it's nothing more than how to install ESXi on a Raspberry Pi 4. ¿For what? Then we discussed it.
In this post we will see how to add from the console of our Veeam Backupp and Replication our infrastructure servers, This is, The servers that service our infrastructure, to connect us to your resources and be able to support them, are virtual machines, physical machines as well as resources that we have in the cloud!
Moving on to vSphere Docs 6.5, today we will look at Host Profiles, We'll use them to try to keep our hosts' configuration as similar as possible! We will create a profile based on a model host, and then apply that profile to all hosts in the cluster, With this we will be able to check if all the hosts have the same configuration or if there is a different configuration or that we have forgotten to apply... We will see in this document how to create such a reference profile and we will display it!
To be able to manage certificates in vSphere 6.5, we'll see how to use the tool we have to manage the vCenter Server Certificate Authority. We must make the CA that brings the PSC a subordinate entity of our own CA of the domain and generate certificates in which we do trust and so not even the browsers will trust and other dependencies. At the end of the document, we'll look at how to change ESXi and vCenter certificates.
As we already know, Update Manager is the VMware product that will keep the vSphere virtual infrastructure fully up to date. With UM we will be able to update the patches or versioning of ESXi hosts in a centralized and fully manageable way, as well as Virtual Machines or Virtual Appliances! We will see as an example how to update a host of the version 6.0 from ESXi to the 6.5 Update 1, for this, without moving from the chair, we will upload an ESXi image to Update Manager and install it to the hosts that need it!
In this post we will be able to see how to configure authentication against our Active Directory in the VMware vSphere virtual platform. We'll enable it on the vCenter Server Appliance and ESXi hosts, so that you can assign access permissions to Active Directory users or groups. And so instead of using the default credentials (As we do wrongly); each employee will use their DA account, with the privileges that he should have, It will also be useful to see 'Who does what'.
This is the first document in a series of posts where we will look at how to perfectly deploy and configure a VMware vSphere platform 6.5, in this document we will look at the simple installation of the ESXi hypervisor, plus a brief walk through its basic configuration with the DCUI and we will access your Host Client to manage it as well as your virtual machines. We will continue with other documents that will make us grow and optimize our environment!
