Migrating from vCenter Server to vCenter Server Appliance

With this great tool from VMware Labs, we will be able to migrate our vCenter server installed on Windows to the VMware vCenter Appliance linux appliance, will migrate the SQL Server database to vPostgres and all major services, interesting, isn't it? We will finally be able to easily migrate vCenter from Windos to Linux, with the savings that come with it on licenses!

Aligning Our Partitions

In this document we will see something old but that we have never talked about and we still find it misconfigured in clients when it comes to auditing the systems; when you have a virtual server that requires high performance at the disk level, we must check that the partitions are correctly aligned!

Installing PINsafe on Linux

In this document we will look at a manual installation of PINsafe on an Ubuntu Server 12.10, We will install the requirements beforehand. This will be an alternative, since we are interested, Swivel will already leave us an appliance ready to deploy in our virtual environment. Anyone who wants to can also mount it under Windows, meeting these same requirements!

Installing Citrix Web Interface on Linux

At last! In this document we will be able to see how to install the Web Interface server 5.3 on a Java server, in this case we will use a new Debian Lenny distribution to which we will install Apache2 and Tomcat6 to be able to run the Citrix Web Interface server, we can therefore save a Windows server with the cost that licensing will entail., Resources… thanks to my great friend Manel who has given me the clues to set it up!!! Started…

Installing Nagios 3.x

We are going to perform a Nagios installation starting from a Debian Etch installed without anything. With Nagios we will be able to monitor any equipment that has a snmp service installed and configured, although they can be monitored by other means that we will explain later.
