Last month VMware released its new version of server virtualization solution, vSphere 6.0. A new version that brings many expected novelties such as having FT with more than 1 core or great novelties in vMotion among others!
Continuing to upgrade your environment to vSphere 5.5 with Update Manager, after upgrading vCenter Server and other components, the next step will be the upgrade of the ESXi hosts to the version 5.5. As we saw in a previous document, we can also perform the update manually. We will be able to directly migrate the ESX 4.x to ESXi 5.5 or upgrade the ESXi 4.x or 5.x directly.
One of the new features brought by the new version of VMware vSphere 4.1 is that we will be able to validate against a domain when authenticating against an ESX or ESXi host with Active Directory accounts, We can put in’ in domain to hosts to control access or permissions. It is very simple to set up as well as recommended,
Si queremos usar Citrix XenDesktop con un entorno virtual de VMware vSphere tendremos que realizar unas configuraciones extra, todo ello es para poder conectarnos desde el XenDesktop Delivery Controller a los escritorios virtuales de nuestro entorno vSphere y por lo tanto gestionado por la plataforma de virtualización de VMware, pudiendo usar VMware View Composer si nos interesase.
One way to help us in the configuration of our virtual environment is to rely on one of the new features that VMware vSphere brings 4, the ability to use already configured templates to apply to all our ESX hosts, or for when we add a new VMware ESX host to our virtual community, we can apply the same configurations that one of our hosts already has.. We can create a template from scratch by configuring everything manually or get said template from one of our servers already configured perfectly (being able to edit the profile if necessary), and then apply it to the rest of the hosts that do not meet the requirements that we indicate. This is called the VMware Host Profile.
If we want to have the new VMware virtualization technology, vSphere, with the new version of VMware ESX hosts, we will need to update our VMware vCenter Server virtual infrastructure management server. And this will have to be updated before updating our ESX host to the latest version. This procedure shows the steps to upgrade a VMware VirtualCenter server from the release 2.5 to the 4.0.
Simple document on how to perform a basic installation of a VMware ESX host or server 4.0, It will be a simple installation with no setup during installation more than the basic one. We should keep in mind that before installing VMware ESX on any physical server, we must always enable the virtualization technology of our processor, either Intel VT or AMD-V at the server BIOS level.
